The word sponge is more appropriate to use than Underground river since an underground river can loose water while an aquifer cannot loose water, unless it is open-air and above ground. then the aquifer would slowly loose water due to evaporation from the sun.

Answer:
A) photorespiration.
Explanation:
Photorespiration is the harmful metabolic process which takes place when the concentration of oxygen in the leaf increases compared to carbon dioxide.
The RUBISCO enzyme which usually binds the carbon dioxide now binds the oxygen and form the phosphoglycolate and 3 phosphoglycerate.
The phosphoglycolate is lost through the Calvin cycle as Carbon dioxide molecule. This loss proves harmful to the plants.
The photorespiration occurs when the plant faces high temperature therefore n order to prevent water loss the stomata gets closed. This result in the binding of the oxygen to the RUBISCO and thus photorespiration begins.
Thus, Option-A is correct.
True, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable and controls the various substances that are allowed into the cell and that are allowed to leave the cell.
