Solution
The correct option is D Curtis Curtis proclaimed that transpiration is a necessary evil. Stomata allows gaseous exchange. Carbon dioxide is taken in for its fixation by Calvin cycle and oxygen produced during the photolysis is given out. This gaseous exchange takes place by the process of diffusion. When the stomata open for the gaseous exchange, the water vapor is lost by the process of transpiration.
