A
Evaporation
B
Vaporization
C
Hydraulic cycle
D
Transpiration

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water mainly via stomatal openings. Transpiration occurs from aerial parts of the plants such as stems, leaves, and flowers. 90% of water transpired from the plant via stomatal pores present in leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evaporation of water from the lenticels of the plants is known as lenticular transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is evaporation and transpiration in the water cycle? Evaporation is the process of surface water absorbing heat energy from the sun or from warm air and changing from a liquid to a gas. Transpiration is when water evaporates through plants.
