Solution

The correct option is A $C O_{2}$ assimilation by guard cells only

Modern theory of stomatal movement is proposed by Levitt. According to it, entry of K+ ions leads to the opening of stomata during day time and exist of k+ results the closure of stomata during night time. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide assimilation occur during day time in the guard cells.
So, the correct option is ‘CO₂ assimilation by guard cells only’.
