• B. Guttation
• C. Respiration
• D. Transpiration

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Guttation

• The exudation of cell sap from an incision made in a plant is called bleeding.
  
• The process of respiration in plants involves using the carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth.
  
• Loss of water in solution form through vein endings in leaves is called guttation.
• Guttation is caused due to root pressure when soil is well watered and transpiration is low due to high atmospheric humidity.
  

So, the correct answer is (B).
