Solution

The correct option is B Lenticels
The bark of the woody stem is a product of secondary growth in plants. Plants require gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen for their life processes.
For gaseous exchange apart from stomata in the leaves gaps are formed in woody stems during development. Such openings are called as lenticels.

Therefore, option B is correct.
