Answer:
(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.
Explanation:
CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.
They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.
During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

Inhaling carbon monoxide reduces the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. This can lead to brain damage. The respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems <span>interact in this situation.</span>
