Answer
Correct option: A.
Transpiration
Transpiration is the process in which plants release the water inside it in the form of moisture or water vapor to the external atmosphere.
Water is transient $($lasting only for a short time$)$ in plants. Less than $1\%$ of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth.
Most of it is lost through the stomata in the leaves.
This water loss is known as transpiration.
Hence the excess water is lost by stomata by the process of Transpiration.
