Which consequence results when a terrestrial plant's transpiration processes stagnate?

A)Decreased water potential enables guttation
B)Insufficient xylem pressure causes wilting
C)Enhanced phloem loading drives growth
D)Increased photorespiration boosts carbon uptake

💡 Explanation

Wilting stems from limited water movement because the cohesion-tension mechanism depends on transpiration to pull water upwards via xylem; therefore, wilting occurs due to hydrostatic pressure decreasing, rather than alternative osmotic adjustments occurring within the plant.
