Solution

The correct option is C Check transpiration
The leaves of the plants are modified by covering with dense hairs, shiny surface and rolling of the leaf blade in order to reduce the rate of transpiration. The stomata present on the surface of leaf are reduced or closed by such modifications and this helps to check the rate of water loss.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
