B Correct answer
Explanation

Stomatal transpiration occurs through stomata (tiny pores on leaf surfaces) and accounts for about 90% of total water loss in plants. Cuticular transpiration through the waxy leaf cuticle is minimal, while lenticular (through stems) and foliar transpiration are even less significant.
