Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dry environment. A dry environment would result in the higher rate of transpiration because the water potential in the surrounding air would be lowest, resulting in more rapid evaporation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Light intensity-higher light intensity levels will generally result in greater transpiration rates. This is because plants open their stomata in response to light, allowing water vapour to escape from the leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -The transpiration rate will be faster during hot, dry and windy conditions.
