The correct option is C Gaseous exchange
  • A lenticel is a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants.
  • It is one of many raised pores in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues.
Hence the correct option is C.
