Solution

The correct option is C Potassium influx and efflux

Potassium influx and efflux

The explanation is given by potassium influx and exflux/ potassium ion pump theory which is also known as modern theory.

This theory states that the accumulation of K+ ions leads to the opening of the stomata during the day while the reverse situation occurs during dark while the stomata is closed.
