What is transpiration?
A
Excess water being released from the leave
B
Excess sugar being released from the leave
C
The way a plant makes its food
D
When the plant uses sugar for energy
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: -Transpiration. 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-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: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Excessive transpiration happens when the rate of water loss exceeds the rate of water absorption. Excessive transpiration causes a plant to wilt. Wilting occurs when a plant loses more water through the leaves than it absorbs through the roots.
