Answer:

(2) transpiration

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The transpiration is a process of water movement form the plant bodies and on evaporation, it gets drained from the leaves i.e stomata of the plants leaves stems and flowers.
  • This transpiration also cools the plants and thus releases the osmotic pressure of the cells and enables the mass flow of the nutrient and water to form the roots to the shoots of the plant.
  • A number of leaves, size of the stomata and the supply of light and the temperature and the relative humidity along with the winds and water supply are the controlling factors that regulate this transpiration process.

the key figure of process B is the trees that release something to the atmosphere.
So i'm sure it will be : 2. Transpiration

Transpiration is the process of evaporation of substances from plant and leaves to the atmosphere

Hope this helps
