Solution

The correct option is B Grass
Guttation occurs in grass, wheat, barley, tomatoes, strawberries, and other small plants. It occurs on warm, humid nights when the soil is very moist. The transpiration rate is lower than the absorption of water by roots in these conditions. If there is too much water, root pressure causes the water to squeeze out of the plant on the tips of the leaves or the blades of the plant.
