Which outcome prevents excessive xylem sap cavitation following leaf damage?

💡 Explanation

Occlusion prevails because embolism spread through pit membranes is minimized by pectin deposition called 'pit clogging', therefore limiting xylem cavitation rather than altering root function since pit clogging is a targeted mechanism.
