Solution

Transpiration:
Transpiration is the loss of water in gaseous or vapor form through stomata of aerial parts of the plants.
The rate of transpiration is decided by the vapour pressure gradient between the internal environment of the leaf and the atmosphere.
Thus, the rate of transpiration will be more during summers when atmospheric humidity is low.
Final answer: Transpiration is highest during the summer.
