Structures represented in the illustration below are found in the lower epidermis of a plant leaf. The illustration at the right shows the response to a certain environmental condition.

The response represented in the illustration would most likely be caused by-

• a reduced supply of oxygen

• long periods of rainfall

• high concentration of glucose

• little available water
