Blue light activates a proton pump at the guard cell plasma membrane. The relationship between proton pumping at the guard cell plasma membrane and stomatal opening is evident from the observations that;

 a.) Orthovandate inhibits the fusicoccin-stimulated opening

 b.) fusicoccin stimulates both proton extrusion from guard cell protoplasts and stomatal opening

 c.) CCCP inhibits the fusicoccin-stimulated opening

 d.) CCCP, a proton ionophore that makes the plasma membrane highly permeable to protons resulting stomatal opening

 Which one of the following observation from the above statements should  be correct?
