Solution

The correct option is C

I, II and IV


Transpiration is defined as the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapour through pores in their leaves (stomata). This process removes excess water, creates a suction pull to help in transport of water upwards, and cools down the plant. Transpiration has no direct role in the exchange of gases.
