Solution

The correct option is D Abscisic acid
  • Abscisic acid (ABA) is an important growth regulator which helps in the closure of stomata in a case when the plants are water-stressed and the roots are deficient in water. \
  • The stressed condition acts as an alarm to release the ABA from roots that travel to the leaf through vascular systems.
  • This ABA regulates sodium and potassium intake and it leads to the loss of turgidity of the guard cell.
So, the correct answer is option D.
