Solution
The correct option is B Lower magnitude but higher flux When many leaves are present on the tree then transpiration occurs with the help of all the stomata, so its magnitude is high but when half the leaves are removed randomly then its speed slows so the flux is lowered. With the number of leaves, stomata will also reduce, so water loss is less through stomata but transpiration rate is high.
So, the correct answer is 'Lower magnitude but higher flux'.
