Answer:

The answer is B. Dry soil

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants can't continue to transpire without wilting if the soil is very dry because the water in the xylem that moves out through the leaves is not being replaced by the soil water. This condition causes the leaf to lose turgor or firmness, and the stomata to close
