Solution

The correct option is C The root dies first
Girdling is the removal of a ring of outer tissue up to the depth of the phloem layer in a woody trunk.
Phloem is responsible for downward movement of food, which is stopped by girdling.
Therefore, the roots will not be able to get food and die first.
