"How does a change in temperature affect the stomata of a plant?"
Reason: it is a testable, falsifiable, cause-and-effect question. You can form a hypothesis, manipulate the independent variable (temperature), measure the dependent variable (stomatal aperture, stomatal conductance or transpiration rate), include controls and replicates, collect and analyze data. The other questions are either subjective ("most interesting"), purely historical/data lookup ("highest temperature recorded yesterday"), or a simple measurement that doesn't test a causal relationship ("how many stomata are on this leaf").
