The correct Answer is:
a
Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange. Gaseous exchange in plant occurs by diffusion through stomata and lenticels. There are various reason for the absence of repiratory organs in plants. Each part of plant takes care of its own gas exchange needs. There is little transport of gases from one part to another. Plants do not require much demands for gas exchange. Thus the distance that gases must diffuse is not large.
