Select the correct option regarding water transport in plants.

Which of the following is responsible for passive guttation?

$A$: There is an indirect relationship between the rate of respiration and water absorption.
$R$: Increased metabolism increases mineral uptake.

Correct the following statements:
$(a)$ Cells shrink in hypotonic solutions and swell in hypertonic solutions.
$(b)$ Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water is absorbed by solids—colloids—causing them to increase in volume.
$(c)$ Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the symplast.

Match the properties of water in Column-$I$ with their corresponding significance in Column-$II$ and select the correct option:

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$I.$ Polarity	$p.$ Aquatic organisms can float
$II.$ Viscosity	$q.$ Lakes do not freeze in winter
$III.$ Latent heat	$r.$ Ascent of sap against gravity
$IV.$ Cohesive force	$s.$ Water is an efficient solvent

After heavy rainfall with poor drainage,leaves of many plants wilt due to
