A Correct answer
Explanation

When stomata are sealed or closed, transpiration and gas exchange (including CO2 intake for photosynthesis) are greatly reduced or stopped. However, guttation can still occur because it is driven by root pressure and takes place through specialized structures called hydathodes, not through stomata. Guttation typically occurs at night or early morning when transpiration is minimal.
