The translocation of water and minerals **upward** from roots to leaves is called:
ATranslocation of food
BAscent of sap
CGuttation
DImbibition
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Ascent of sap
Ascent of sap = upward translocation of water + dissolved minerals through the xylem against gravity. Distinct from translocation of food (which is via phloem, both directions).
