    A)  Aquatic, submerged plants

    B)  Plants living in deserts

    C)  Aquatic plants with floating leaves

    D)  Plants growing in hilly regions

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The loss of water from aerial parts of living plants is known as transpiration. Transpiration may be stomatal (80-90%), cudcular (3-9%) and lenticular (0.1%). Transpiration remain absent in submerged hydrophytic plants because stomata are completely absent in leaves of submerged plants e.g., Anncharis and Potamogeton.
