Solution

The correct option is D Respiration
Pneumatophores play an important role in respiration. These specialized aerial roots that help plants to breathe air in the habitats which have waterlogged soil. The roots may grow down from the stem or up from typical roots. The lenticels that is present on the surface of these roots take up air into spongy tissue which in turn uses osmotic pathways to spread oxygen throughout the plant as needed.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
