Solution
The correct option is C Transpiration
Respiration is a process in which living organisms produces energy, with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.
Guttation is the loss of water in the form of water droplets from hydathodes (small pores) on the leaf margin of a plant.
Transpiration is the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves.
The passage of material through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of higher to a region of lower concentration, especially the passage of water through a cell membrane into the surrounding medium, is called exosmosis.
