How does water get into plants?
A
Evaporation-> Presipitation-> Condensation-> Travels through the roots
B
Condensation-> Evaporation-> Precipitation-> Travels through the roots
C
Evaporation-> Condensation-> Precipitation-> Travels through the roots
D
Evaporation-> Condensation-> Transpiration-> Travels through the roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During infiltration, water is soaked into the ground. Some of this water returns to the Earth’s surface and some of it remains underground and becomes groundwater. Plants absorb water from the soil. The water moves from the roots through the stems to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation). Liquid water flows across land (runoff), into the ground (infiltration and percolation), and through the ground (groundwater). Groundwater moves into plants (plant uptake) and evaporates from plants into the atmosphere (transpiration).

Detailed explanation-3: -The water eventually is released to the atmosphere as vapor via the plant’s stomata-tiny, closeable, pore-like structures on the surfaces of leaves. Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere and cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
