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

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration: The process of extracting unnecessary water from the body in the form of vapour by plants is called “transpiration". Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the spongy mesophyll cells followed by the diffusion of water through the air spaces and out of the stomata.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Stomatal Transpiration It is the evaporation of water from the stomata of the plants. Most of the water from the plants is transpired this way.
