Photosynthesis ceases when leaves wilt, mainly because
A) the chlorophyll in wilting leaves is degraded. B) flaccid mesophyll cells are incapable of photosynthesis. C) stomata close, preventing CO₂ from entering the leaf. D) photolysis, the water-splitting step of photosynthesis, cannot occur when there is a water deficiency. E) accumulation of CO₂ in the leaf inhibits enzymes.
