Solution
The correct option is D They are found on the same organ of plants. Lenticels and hydathodes both lack guard cells and hence, their openings are not regulated. Hydathodes are openings at end of vascular supply to leaves and are involved in the process of guttation, which is a loss of water in liquid form. Lenticels are lens shaped openings in big woody trunks of trees for gaseous exchange.
