Solution
The correct option is D Conditions favouring transpiration
The cohesion-tension theory is a theory of intermolecular attraction that explains the process of water flow upwards (against the force of gravity) through the xylem of plants.
Transpiration pull, utilizing capillary action and the inherent surface tension of water, is the primary mechanism of water movement in plants.
Hence, The cohesion transpiration pull theory operates only in Conditions favouring transpiration.
So, the correct answer is 'Conditions favouring transpiration'.
