An antitranspirant is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Phenyl mercuric acetate
Antitranspirant are the chemical compounds or materials which are applied to the outer layer of leaves in order to reduce transpiration. Here, the antitranspirants decreases the water lose from the leaves by reducing the size and number of stomata. They are used to save crops and help to get marginal yield in horticultural plants and are used widely only if water costs are sufficiently high. Example, phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA), which not only inhibits stomata opening but also decreases photosynthetic rate and growth.So, the correct answer is option D.
