The process responsible for facilitating loss of water in liquid form from the tip of grass blades at night and in early morning is:

  1. A
    Transpiration
  2. B
    Root pressure
  3. C
    Imbibition
  4. D
    Plasmolysis

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

This phenomenon is called guttation. It occurs due to root pressure that develops in the roots when water absorption is high and transpiration is low (night and early morning), pushing water out through specialized openings called hydathodes.
