Many movements are involved in the process of food-making of plants. one of which is transpiration. If humans sweat through his skin pores, plants sweat through its stoma (stomata-plural form) which is found underside the plants' leaf. The main purpose of transpiration is to exchange gases by releasing water through the stomata but it is not the only force that drives water movement within a plant, so, the answer would probably be letter c.
