Solution

The correct option is B Pneumatophores
In plants, respiration is usually carried out through the small pores present on the leaves, called stomata. In special cases, plants can also carry out respiration through specific structures on stems and roots. The pores through which respiration takes place on the stem and roots are called lenticles. The roots, which carry out respiration are called pneumatophores.
