AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks about the process in which water is lost from plants in the form of water vapor. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - **A. Respiration:** This is a metabolic process where organisms convert glucose and oxygen into energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water, but it does not primarily refer to the loss of water as vapor. - **B. Guttation:** This process involves the loss of water in the form of droplets from the edges of leaves, usually occurring at night or early morning, not as vapor. - **C. Transpiration:** This is the process by which plants absorb water through their roots and then release it as water vapor through small openings in their leaves called stomata. - **D. Exoosmosis:** This refers to the movement of water out of a cell through a semi-permeable membrane, leading to cell shrinkage, but it does not specifically relate to the loss of water vapor in plants. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer:** Among the options, transpiration is the only process that specifically describes the loss of water in the form of vapor from the plant's leaves. 4. **Conclusion:** Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **C. Transpiration.** ---
