**Transpiration** is the loss of water from the plant in the form of:

ALiquid (through hydathodes)
BVapour, mainly through stomata, cuticle and lenticels
CBoth A and B equally
DOnly through roots
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Vapour, mainly through stomata, cuticle and lenticels
Transpiration = evaporative water loss (vapour). 90–93% via stomata; 8–10% via cuticle; 0.1–1% via lenticels. Loss as liquid through hydathodes is called guttation (a separate process).
