Solution

The correct option is C Guttation
Guttation is loss of water in liquid form as a dilute solution from uninjured leaf tips. The uninjured leaf tips have hydathodes or water stomata. Under conditions of low transpiration dilute solution of minerals oozes out through them under the influence of increased root pressure.
