A
The evaporation of water from leaves into the air.
B
The movement of water from the soil to the plant.
C
Production of glucose from carbon dioxide and water
D
The movement of water from low to high concentration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This process of elimination of excess water from the plant body is known as transpiration. It is generally the evaporation of water from the surface of the leaves. During the process of transpiration, water molecules in the plant tissues are removed from the aerial parts of the plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -: the process by which plants give off water vapor through the stomata in their leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process by which plants remove excess water through stomata present on the surface of leaves is called ‘transpiration’. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from leaves of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -transpiration, in botany, a plant’s loss of water, mainly through the stomata of leaves. Stomatal openings are necessary to admit carbon dioxide to the leaf interior and to allow oxygen to escape during photosynthesis.
