Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

In the light, the pH of guard cells becomes increased due to consumption of  in the process of photosynthesis. Guard cells receive ions from subsidiary cells. This decreases the water potential of guard cells and leads to migration of water from subsidiary cells to guard cells.

Uptake of  ions is also balanced by  ions.
