Which consequence results when excessive transpiration overwhelms tree capabilities?

💡 Explanation

Xylem tensions grow during transpiration due to water evaporation; increased tensions lead to xylem cavitation (air bubble formation disrupting water columns) because pressures become too negative. Therefore, A is correct, rather than optimized transport or phloem changes.
