Transpiration is the:
A
process by which plants release water vapor into the ground.
B
Process by which plants release water vapor into the air.
C
Process by which plants obtain food from soil.
D
Process by which water is created.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants release water vapour into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapour and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant 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.
