Solution

The correct option is A Transpiration and photosynthesis
The function of the stomata is to allow water vapor and gases to pass in and out of the leaf. The stomata are also responsible for the process of transpiration, the rate at which a plant loses water. Air enters the plant through the stomata. The air contains carbon dioxide which is used in the photosynthesis process. Then the transpiration and photosynthesis are the main functions of leaves.
So, the correct option is A.
