Solution

The correct option is D

Be almost zero


Since there is no wind, the water vapour would collect outside the stomata, thereby making that area saturated with water vapour. Diffusion would, therefore, slow down drastically. If it were windy, the water vapour would be carried away, and therefore more diffusion would continuously occur.
