Solution

The correct option is C
Relative humidity is high.

The rate of transpiration is inversely proportional to relative humidity which means that the rate of transpiration is lower when the relative humidity is higher and vice versa. Air cannot hold any water molecules when it is already laden with moisture (humidity).
