Solution

The correct option is B increases
The rate of transpiration depends on various factors like humidity, temperature, sunlight, atmospheric pressure and wind speed. As the wind blows faster, the water released by transpiration is carried away faster. So, rate of transpiration increases with velocity of wind speed.
