- Transport of water and minerals in $Xylem$ is $\underline{A}$.
- Transport of organic and mineral nutrients is $\underline{B}$.

Assertion: When the ambient temperature is high and soil contains excess of water,the plants tend to lose water in the form of droplets from lenticels.
Reason: Root pressure regulates the rate of loss of water from lenticels.

Given below are two statements in relation to the limitations of the capillarity theory of water transport in plants.
Statement $I$: Xylem, i.e., the capillarity tube, must be with closed end walls and not hollow.
Statement $II$: The capillarity tube, i.e., xylem, is not in direct contact with soil water and contains a barrier of root cells between the xylem and soil water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
