Solution

The correct option is A Stomata, lenticels
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere through the stomata and oxygen is released as a waste product. A lenticel is a porous tissue in the periderm of the secondary organs and the bark of woody stems. It functions as a pathway for the direct exchange of gasses between the internal tissues and atmosphere through the bark during respiration. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
