Solution
The correct option is A Cohesion of water and transpiration pull
The translocation of water through the xylem from the roots to the leaf is called the transpiration pull. Water rises through xylem because of cohesion and adhesion of water molecules. These properties create a suction effect, called as the transpiration pull in the xylem. The specialized structure of xylem facilitates transpiration.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
