Solution

The correct option is B Lenticels
The gaps in the external phellem or cork are called as lenticels. These are composed of parenchyma cells (complementary tissue). The lenticel is a portion of the periderm which are developed through the activity of the phellogen. Lenticels are lens shaped openings in the trunk of woody trees. These help in exchange of gases between the atmosphere and inner cortical cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
