Answer 1

The correct option is B imbibition

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration.

Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an enormous increase in volume.

Transpiration is a loss of water from aerial parts of the plant.

Excretion is the process of removal of waste material from the body.

So, the correct answer is option B.
