Which of the following adaptions would not reduce the rate of transpiration in a plant? a fleshy succulent leaves b thick waxy cuticle c few stomata d reduced leaf area you xx xxx

I feel that the ans is A.
Firstly,thick waxy cuticle ..The main purpose of it on the upper and lower epidermis is to reduce water loss as well as make it transparent for light to enter..Hence more thick cuticle means less transpiration rate.Fewer stomata means less opening hence less rate of transpiration.
Reduced surface area-ex cactus..It has spiny needles to reduce transpiration rate.
However succulent leaf would mean more water potential in leaf than surrounding.Hence water moves out faster by osmosis increasing transpiration rate.Thus,the ans is A

The answers no

The answer will be d
