Answer: Option A

Guard cells are kidney shaped cells that surrounds the stomata. They control the opening and closing of the stomata. When the plant has an excess of water, the guard cells swell and create an opening for the exchange of gases. In dry conditions, the guard cells are flat and keep the stomata closed, inhibiting exchange of gases.
