Solution

The correct option is B

Humid environment


The leaves of certain plants exhibit droplets of water along their margins in the morning. This particularly happens to plants growing in warm humid conditions. A humid environment hampers transpiration while the roots continue to absorb water from the soil. This builds up a big hydrostatic pressure within the plant and forces out the excess water directly from the tips of veins in the leaves.
