Solution
The correct option is B Transpiration
Water movement against gravity is caused by transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water is carried through plant roots to small pores of the leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. The mechanism of transport of water against gravity is by cohesive forces of water molecules. Water molecules cohere and are pulled up the plant by the tension, exerted by evaporation at the leaf surface.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
