Solution

The correct option is C Ascent of water and minerals and reduce the impact of temperature on plants
Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Translocation is not involved in food translocation and growth and curvature of plants.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
