Solution

The correct option is A Transpiration pull
The ascent of sap refers to the movement of water, which depends on root pressure and developed by transpiration pull. Transpiration pull is generated by the loss of water through the stomata in leaves. The water in xylem tracheids and vessels is pulled up by this transpiration pull as a continuous water column.
