A Correct answer
Explanation

Wilting occurs when water loss exceeds water uptake, causing loss of turgor pressure. High temperature (Option A) increases transpiration rate significantly, which can lead to wilting if water absorption cannot keep up. Options B and C (high humidity, rainfall) would reduce water stress. Option D is incomplete - absorption itself is not a condition; rather, insufficient absorption causes wilting.
