The correct option is D Ascent of sap
Water and minerals are the essential substances for plant growth which is absorbed from the soil with the help of root hairs. Absorbed water and minerals have to be conducted to all parts through xylem tissue of plants. This upward movement or conduction of water until it reaches the mesophyll of leaves in the plant is referred to as ascent of sap.
