Solution
The correct option is D Transpiration Transpiration is a process of loss of water from a plant in vapour form. One of the benefits of transpiration is that it causes surface cooling because evaporation of water requires energy. Consumption of energy leads to a cooling effect on the leaf surface. Also because of more water vapour content in shade, a tree shade is cooler than an area exposed to sunlight. Thus the correct answer is option C.
