Answer 1

The correct answer is 'Translocation'.

Key Points

Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant.
Plants produce carbohydrates (sugar) in their leaves by photosynthesis but non-photosynthetic parts of plants also require carbohydrates and other organic and non-organic materials.
For this reason, nutrients are translocated from sources to other parts of plants.

Additional Information

Diffusion: It is the process of movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion in plants is a very important process for photosynthesis where carbon dioxide from the stomata diffuses into the leaves and finally into the cells.
Osmosis: It is a process by which plants maintain their water content despite the constant water loss due to transpiration.
Transpiration: It is a process that involves loss the of water vapor through the stomata of plants.
