Answer:

Closed

Step-by-step explanation:

Stomata would most likely be closed on a hot sunny day due to not wanting moisture from the plant to evaporate.

Stomata are normally opened during the day because photosynthesis happens during the day. The stoma allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through them.
