Solution

The correct option is C More number of stomata
More stomata will provide more pores for transpiration.
A leaf with a bigger surface area will transpire faster than a leaf with a smaller surface area.
A waxy cuticle is relatively impermeable to water and reduces evaporation from the plant surface.
Leaves are modified to spines to reduce transpiration.
