Solution

The correct option is B Guttation
Guttation is the excretion of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants through hydathode, such as grasses. It occurs in the absence of light i.e., at night and thus it is present on the edge of leaves in the early morning.
So, the correct answer is option B.
