D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Transpiration. The loss of excess water by diffusion through the stomata of leaves of a plant into the atmosphere is called transpiration. It pulls water up from the roots to different parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Excessive transpiration (due to dry air or more negative water potential of the air) could induce more negative water flux enough to lose turgor (wilting).

Detailed explanation-5: -Water pressure begins to build in the cells of plant leaves when the roots absorb more water than they can use. Cells will eventually die and burst, forming blisters and areas that look like lesions. Once these blisters erupt, tan, brown, or white wart-like growths begin to form in their place.
