    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    During rainy season doors, windows get swelled due to the imbibition process. Imbibition is a physical process by which solvent is absorbed by certain substances making them swell, e.g., Swelling of seeds. Migration of solvent from their higher concentration to their lower concentration is known as diffusion. Transpiration is the removal of water in the form of vapour from aerial parts of plants. Respiration is the intake of \[{{O}_{2}}\] and release of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] by all living organisms.
