Solution

The correct option is A Transpiration
In plants, transpiration is the loss of water from leaves and stems. It is affected by humidity and temperature. Potometer is a tool used for measuring the rate of transpiration. The rate of transpiration cannot be accurately determined using a potometer because all the water that is taken by the plant is not involved in transpiration. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
