In a plant organ which is covered by periderm and in which the stomata are absent, some gaseous exchange still takes place through (A) aerenchyma (B) trichomes (C) pneumatophores (D) lenticels

Lenticels allow the gaseous exchange between the atmosphere and living cells below the cork. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/biology/b7e2791f2aba7eda6ab034a369506c6d-.png" />
