Solution

The correct option is B
Loss of nutrient

Only pure water is lost due to transpiration in the form of water vapour. There is no loss of nutrient. The loss of water as vapour has a cooling effect on the plant. Transpirational pull is a major factor responsible for ascent of sap, especially in tall trees.
