Solution

The correct option is B imbibition
Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids causing them to enormously increase in volume as seen in dry woods and seeds. Doors made up of wood swell up in rainy season due to imbibition.

Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of water vapour. Exosmosis is the movement of water molecules out of the cell. Guttation is the loss of water in the form of droplets.
