a. too much respiration
b. too much transpiration
c. not enough soil evaporation
d. not enough photosynthesis

Answer 1

The issue that could cause a plant to have too little water is **b. too much transpiration**.

Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the plant's leaves into the atmosphere. If transpiration rates are too high (for example, due to high temperatures, low humidity, or wind), the plant may lose water faster than it can uptake it from the soil, leading to insufficient water availability.
