Transpiration is
A
The process of a gas turning into a liquid.
B
A gas formed from something that is usually a liquid or solid at normal temperatures. Clouds are made of condensed vapor.
C
The process by which plants give off moisture into the atmosphere.
D
When a liquid changes into a vapor or gas.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. It is essentially evaporation of water from plant 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 a process in which plants release water vapour into the air which rises up and precipitates as rain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant transpiration is generally an invisible process as the water from the exiting the leaves evaporates quickly. The temperature inside the bag will increase with heating from the sun. However, the water vapor will condense back into water as it comes in contact with the bag’s surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -“Transpiration is the biological process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plants.”
