D. All of the above

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Leaf water potential (LWP) is a useful index of soil water stress when experienced by plants.
When plants undergo water stress, under low availability of water, plants develop mechanisms to cope with water stress by decreasing LWP.
Air temperature, humidity, wind and soil water availability are the factors that affect LWP.
