Solution

The correct option is B ABA
Abscisic acid is a phytohormone critical for plant growth and development and plays an important role in integrating various stress signals and controlling downstream stress responses. Plants have to adjust ABA levels constantly in response to changing physiological and environmental conditions. ABA causes the closure of stomata. It thus helps in reducing the rate of transpiration.
