  4. Dleaves

Correct answer

D. leaves

Step-by-step solution

Lenticels are lens-shaped openings formed in the periderm of woody stems, roots, and the pericarp of some woody fruits. They facilitate the exchange of gases between the internal tissues and the external atmosphere.

Leaves do not possess lenticels; instead, they have stomata for gaseous exchange and transpiration.

Therefore, lenticels are absent in leaves.
