Answer:

D To open more frequently to allow more water Carbon dioxide into the leaf tissue. This is what is need for oxygen from the sun and C02 to enter into the leaf to provide energy and sugar for food for the plants to grow.

Answer: Option D

Explanation: In a forest, decidous trees living in these condition needs continous supply of carbon dioxide and water.

This is done in order to continue the process of photosynthesis. The opening in the leaves allows the continous flow of carbon dioxide inside the plant body and removal of oxygen from the leaves as a result of the photosynthesis.

The frequent opening and closing of the stomata is responsible for photosynthesis.
