Solution

The correct option is C Decrease in transpiration rate
When a twig is kept in water having some salt then the concentration gradient between twig and outer environment decreases which results in the decrease of transpiration rate. When transpiration will decrease then water loss will also decrease and plant will remain fresh for longer period.
