The true statement is: Abscisic acid regulates water loss in plants by making plants close their stomata during hot weather.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating water loss and maintaining plant water balance, particularly during stress conditions such as drought or high temperatures. It promotes the closure of stomata to reduce transpiration and conserve water.
