Transpiration is the loss of water from the leaves through stomata.

This creates a suction pull in plants that creates demand for more water from the roots.

If transpiration is high due to large area of large pores of the leaves, water demand for the plant is likely to be high, which would not work for a climate like Mediterranean. So, waxy leaves and thick barks reduce transpiration and thus water need.

Solution: d)
