Correct option  (b) Low CO2 concentration

Explanation :

Light causes photosynthesis which leads to reduction in CO2 concentration →  synthesis of glycolate  → oxidation of glycolate →  ATP synthesis  →  activation of K+ pump →  movement of K+ in guard cell → movement of water into guard cells →  swelling of guard cell →  opening of stomata.
