The correct option is D
transpiration

Transpiration is the process of removal of excess water from the plants through tiny openings in leaves known as stomata. This proccess creates a suction pull which is similar to the pull created when you drink any liquid using a straw. This suction is strong enough to pull water high up to the tips of even the tallest of trees.
