Solution
The correct option is A Transpiration
Transpiration is loss of water, in gaseous or vapour form, from the aerial parts of plants. Rate of transpiration depends on a number of factors, like carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, light, wind velocity etc. The most important factor influencing transpiration is the vapour pressure gradient between atmosphere and leaf mesophyll cells. Thus, more the atmospheric humidity lesser the rate of transpiration.
