Low, so that there would be less moisture lost. Because of the fact that there is not an abundance of water in the desert environment, Cacti require low transpiration. They do this by having smaller amounts of stomata. I would double check on that using other resources, but it is a fairly simple concept. Cacti need to hold in more water than other plants so they have lower transpiration rates. :)
