Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll content of leaves does not directly affect rate of transpiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -At high atmospheric humidity, transpiration is low. This is because the rate of transpiration is directly proportional to the saturation deficit. It is dependent on the gradient of vapor pressure. Thus, the higher the humidity, the lower the rate of transpiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Increased humidity has a reduces transpiration. The lower the humidity the easier it is for the plant to release water.
