Question

Which condition favors guttation?

• A. High humidity
• B. Low humidity
• C. More transpiration
• D. Bright sunlight

Answer 1

The correct option is A High humidity

Guttation is the phenomenon of the release of small water droplets from the pores of the plants. It is done in order to release the extra water out of the plant in very humid conditions. It is commonly seen in mesophytes.

During the absence of sunlight stomata are closed so there is minimal transpiration. Hence there is a need for guttation.

So the correct answer is 'High humidity'.
