Solution
The correct option is A Complementary cells
The lenticels are the small openings in the bark of plants for gaseous exchange. The lenticel phellogen gives rise to a large mass of cells called the complementary cells. These cells are centrifugally and loosely arranged. These cells are parenchyma cells and are non-chlorophyllous. Hence they do not perform photosynthesis. Thus the correct answer is option A.
