Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The plants are known as the producers that make food by the help of the process known as photosynthesis.

The process of photosynthesis takes place in the leaves and then the food is transported to various parts of the plant body.

Epidermal tissues in the leaves are covered with a waxy cuticle or cortex.It helps in preventing water loss from the leaves.

The guards cells in the leaves are responsible for the opening and closing of stomata which in turn controls the water loss from the leaves.
