The correct answer is option A
The plant absorbs the water from the soil and transports it to the various parts of the plant body.
This transportation of water takes place by the combination of two phenomenon known as cohesion and adhesion.
Cohesion can be defined as the attraction of two or more water molecules together. This allows the water molecules to stay together and form a spherical shape.
The water moves up in the xylem by the process of adhesion( capillary action).It provides the force to pull the water in the upward direction.
