Solution

The correct option is B Transpiration
In some grasses(isobilateral leaves), on epidermis, there are some larger, thin walled cells called bulliform cells are present, which in dry condition lose water through transpiration and thus the rolling up of leaves occurs, e.g., in Poa, Agropyron, Amophilla, etc.
