The correct option is D Guttation
Guttation
Guttation doesn't occur to every plants but typically occur in non-woody and smaller than 3 feet tall, but some shrubs and vines show guttation as well. Guttation is typically not a problem for plants unless the soil has a high mineral content. Once the water evaporate, the minerals get left behind and can burn the tips of the leaves. The pressure in the root cells pushes water - carrying xylem up, the pressure forces excess water out of the leaves through special structures called hydathodes located at the tip and margins or leaves.
Guttation mainly occurs at night, but it can happen during the day in areas with high humidity.
