Answer:

Option C.

The correct meaning of transpiration is the evaporation of water through the stomata.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In simple words transpiration is defined as the process of loosing of water from plant through somata as water vapor into the environment.
  • Transpiration occurs from the small pores of roots, stem, flowers and leaf through which water vapor from plant is exhaled, evaporated and mixed in the atmosphere.
  • 97–99.5% of water in plant is lost through the continuous process of guttation and transpiration.
