Guttation is the result of:

1. diffusion
2. transpiration
3. osmosis
4. root pressure

Correct answer: root pressure

Solution

Guttation happens when excess water is forced out through hydathodes, usually at night or when transpiration is low. This pushing force is root pressure, which drives water upward and out of the plant.
