Solution

The correct option is D
Transpiration

Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water through tiny openings in leaves known as stomata. This evaporation creates a suction pull like when you drink something using a straw. This suction is strong enough to pull water high up to the tips of even the tallest of trees. Transpiration helps in cooling the plants as well.
