The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the process in which water is released as droplets from plants. We need to identify the correct term for this phenomenon. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Root Pressure**: This refers to the pressure that drives water and nutrients from the roots into the xylem. It does not involve the release of water as droplets, so this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Transpiration**: This is the process where water is absorbed by plant roots and then evaporates from the leaves into the atmosphere as water vapor. Since this process involves evaporation and not the release of droplets, this option is also incorrect. - **Option 3: Guttation**: This is the process where water is secreted as droplets from the pores (hydathodes) of the plant, usually occurring at night or in high humidity conditions. This matches the description in the question, making it the correct answer. - **Option 4: None**: This option suggests that none of the previous options are correct. Since we have identified option 3 as correct, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question "Water is released as droplet this is known as" is **Guttation**. **Final Answer**: Guttation ---
