Which process in arid plants minimizes water loss when high temperatures cause stomata to close?

💡 Explanation

When high temperatures cause stomata to close, the CAM pathway enables plants to fix CO2 at night, storing it as an acid and releasing it during the day to minimize water loss. Therefore CAM pathway activation results, rather than C4 which separates spatially, or osmosis/photorespiration which respond to different conditions.
