Select all of the environmental factors that would increase transpiration.Choose more than 1
A
Increased humidity
B
Increased wind speed
C
Increased temperature
D
Decreased surface area
E
The direction of the wind
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Several factors can affect the rate of transpiration, including temperature, humidity, air movement, and light intensity. Warmer temperatures generally lead to higher transpiration rates, while higher humidity levels decrease the rate of water loss.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration increases with increasing air temperature and wind velocity. At constant temperature and wind velocity, transpiration rate is governed by moisture content of air. Transpiration also increases with decreasing relative humidty at constant wind velocity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature plays a major role in the rate of transpiration. As the temperature increases, transpiration will increase due to a higher concentration in sunlight and warm air.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. Wind: When the wind velocity is high the rate of transpiration increases. Humidity: higher the humidity the rate of transpiration decreases i.e. transpiration increases on a sunny day and decreases on a cloudy day. Temperature: higher the temperature greater is the rate of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -temperature. humidity. air movement. light intensity.
