Which risk increases when transpiration demand exceeds root water uptake?

A)Increased xylem cavitation risk
B)Increased leaf boundary layer thickness
C)Accelerated stomatal guard cell division
D)Decreased phloem loading efficiency

💡 Explanation

Cavitation risk rises because an imbalance leads to excess negative pressure, inducing air bubble formation via xylem tension, decreasing water flow; therefore compromising function, rather than influencing boundary layers or phloem loading, as transpiration influences xylem and root systems.
