Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The skin of the potato holds more amount of moisture compared to the potato.
  2. The unpeeled potato transpires more because of the high moisture content.
  3. But when the potato is peeled and the skin is removed, then the rate of transpiration decreases because of less moisture content in the potato.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
