Which constraint affects xylem transport at high altitudes?

💡 Explanation

Reduced atmospheric pressure lowers the boiling point of water, thereby increasing cavitation risk via vapor-lock in xylem. Because tension is interrupted, water transport is diminished; therefore optimal water transfer is limited, rather than enabled by other options.
