Final answer:

Leaves lose water through the opening of stomata by the guard cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leaves lose water through the opening stomata, which is achieved by specialized cells called guard cells. When stomata are open, water vapor is lost to the external environment, increasing the rate of transpiration. Therefore, the answer to the question is B) By opening stomata.
