Solution

The correct option is B All living cells.
Cellular respiration takes place in every living cell. Cellular respiration takes place in cytoplasm and in mitochondria. In the process of respiration, oxygen enters the cell and respiration cycle takes place and ATP forms. Without ATP the cell will die. Therefore, all living cells in plants respire. Hence, option B is correct.
