Which outcome occurs when humidity drops during C4 photosynthesis?

A)Stomata closure prevents water loss
B)Increased photorespiration in mesophyll cells
C)Enhanced carbon fixation by bundle sheath
D)Decreased malate transfer efficiency

💡 Explanation

When humidity drops, stomata close to prevent water loss through transpiration, because declining water potential triggers abscisic acid release, causing guard cell turgor decrease; restricting gas exchange. Therefore stomata closure results, rather than photorespiration increases, enhanced carbon fixation, or malate transfer decrease, which require internal biochemical shifts.
