A plant living through a drought keeps most of its stomates closed. This results in a trade-off of physiological processes in which A) photosynthesis increases and energy accumulates in the leaf. B) water is conserved and energy accumulates in the leaf. C) CO₂ uptake and water loss both increase, but leaves are light-damaged. D) CO₂ uptake and water loss both decrease, but photosynthesis increases.
