Answer:

The property of "cohesion forces" of the water makes them responsible for the capillary action in the plants.

Explanation:

Water molecules in the soil get pulled into the plant through roots and travel over the vessels and tubes in the stem to various parts of the plant. Leave surface have small pores, named as stomata or guard cells that will help in transpiration or evaporation. This process of transpiration will help the ground water to travel opposite to the gravity and travel all parts of the plant body carrying minerals and essential food particles.

The primary productivity (photosynthesis) can be define as the total production of organic matter in the form of carbohydrates from available atmospheric carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight, appropriate temperature, and nutrients by the plants or other autotrophs. The life on earth sustains due to primary productivity as the plants prepare their own food and these plants are consumed by the animals and other living beings.

On the basis of the above description, all of the above is the correct option. As plants or other autotrophs will not be able to synthesize their food in the absence of nitrogen (nutrient) obtain from the soil, light, temperature, and water.
