Solution

The correct options are
A
Increase in the water potential of guard cells

B
Closure of stomata

In the absence of light, the $K^{+}$ and $C l^{-}$ ions move out of the guard cells due to which the water potential of guard cell increases and water move out leading to the closure of stomata.
