Transpirational pull depends on the following factors of water .
Via the act of transpiration, plants take in water through their roots and release it as water vapour through pores in their leaves. When a plant takes up water in its roots, that is an example of transpiration.
Cohesion: Mutual attraction between water molecules.
Adhesion: Attraction of water molecules to polar surfaces.
Surface tension: Water molecules are more attracted to each other in the liquid phase than in the gaseous phase. So, the answer is Transpiration'
