transpiration
A
a cloud that forms near the ground and results in a reduction in visibility
B
a collection of small water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, which forms when the air is cooled and condensation occurs
C
the process by which plants release water vapor into the air through stomata; also the release of water vapor into the air by other organisms
D
any form of water that falls to Earth’s surface from the clouds
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: -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 the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is defined as the physiological loss of water in the form of water vapor, mainly from the stomata in leaves, but also through evaporation from the surfaces of leaves, flowers, and stems.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
