Solution
The correct option is C Impairment of water absorption
The word 'Bonsai' is often used in english as an umbrella term for all miniature trees in containers or pots. Root pruning damages a plant, restricting its ability to take up water and nutrients. Therefore it must be done at times of the year that the stresses on the plant are minimal. For temperate climate plants there are two times of the year that these conditions are optimal, late fall and early spring. Tropical plants can usually be root pruned and repotted during periods of quiescence or slow growth.
