Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) stomata are open

Step-by-step Solution

Active absorption in plants, which requires energy (ATP), typically occurs when transpiration is low, such as at night or when stomata are closed. When stomata are open (usually during the day), transpiration is high, and passive absorption via transpiration pull dominates.
