Solution

The correct option is B Diffusion.
Roots in plants play an important role in exchange of respiratory gases. Oxygen diffuses into the root hairs from the soil. It then enters into the other cells of the plant. Carbon dioxide is given out by the root cells which later diffuses into the soil. Hence root are involved in plant respiration. Thus the correct answer in option B.
