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 critical role in managing water loss and helping plants respond to stress conditions, such as drought or high temperatures, by promoting the closure of stomata to reduce transpiration.
