How do soluble substances migrate?

Which of the following statements are correct regarding the factors affecting the absorption of water by plants?
$(i)$ In plants,the rate of water absorption is minimum at a soil temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$.
(ii) The presence of capillary water is essential in the soil.
(iii) Poorly aerated soil shows a poor absorption rate.
(iv) $A$ low transpiration rate accelerates the rate of absorption of water in irrigated soil.
$(v)$ $A$ high concentration of solutes in soil water reduces the rate of absorption of water.

In a girdled plant,when water is supplied to the leaves above the girdle,leaves may remain green for some time,then wilt and ultimately die. What does it indicate?

Which of the following components are transported within plants?
$I -$ Water,$II -$ Plant growth regulators,$III -$ Mineral nutrients,$IV -$ Organic nutrients

Match the properties of water in Column-$I$ with their corresponding significance in Column-$II$ and select the correct option:

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$I.$ Polarity	$p.$ Aquatic organisms can float
$II.$ Viscosity	$q.$ Lakes do not freeze in winter
$III.$ Latent heat	$r.$ Ascent of sap against gravity
$IV.$ Cohesive force	$s.$ Water is an efficient solvent

$A.$ Most researchers agree that water is mainly 'pulled' upward through the plant, where transpiration is the driving force.
$B.$ Less than one percent of water reaching the leaves is used in plant growth and photosynthesis.
$C.$ Cobalt chloride paper turns blue on absorbing water.
