• C. Process through which trees gain water.
• D. Process through which trees shed their leaves.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Process through which trees lose water.

The trees tend to lose water through a process called transpiration. In the dry season, the trees of tropical deciduous forests prefer to shed their leaves and avoid loss of water through transpiration. This helps them conserve water.
