5.In an experiment to demonstrate water absorption by roots, two test tubes (A and B) are filled with water. A rooted balsam plant is placed in test tube A, while test tube B has no plant. A drop of oil is added to both. What observation confirms water absorption by roots?
- A.Water level rises in test tube A after two days.
- B.Water level falls in test tube A but remains unchanged in test tube B.
- C.Water level falls equally in both test tubes.
- D.Water level rises in test tube B due to evaporation.
