Solution

The correct option is B Temperature
Transpiration is loss of water in vapour form through stomata. Rate of transpiration depends on vapour pressure gradient between the internal environment of leaf and atmosphere. More the atmospheric humidity lesser the transpiration.
High carbon dioxide concentration partially closes stomata, thus decreasing rate of transpiration.
High temperature in general leads to increased transpiration.
Sulphur dioxide gas has no effect on rate of transpiration.
