The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lenticels**: - Lenticels are small, lens-shaped openings found on the surface of the cork in old dicotyledonous plants. - They are involved in the exchange of gases between the internal tissues of the plant and the external environment. 2. **Understanding Hydathodes**: - Hydathodes are small pores located on the epidermis of leaves, particularly in herbaceous plants. - They are responsible for the process of guttation, which is the exudation of water droplets from the leaves. 3. **Identifying Common Features**: - Both lenticels and hydathodes are involved in physiological processes related to gas and water exchange. - A key similarity is that they do not have a mechanism for opening and closing like stomata do. Instead, they remain open and do not regulate their aperture. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: They allow the exchange of gases - This is true for lenticels but not for hydathodes, which primarily deal with water. - **Option B**: They always remain closed - This is incorrect as both structures do not close. - **Option C**: There is no regulation of their opening and closing - This is true for both structures. - **Option D**: They occur on the same organ of the plant - This is not necessarily true, as lenticels are found on stems while hydathodes are found on leaves. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option C**: There is no regulation of their opening and closing.
