C. leaves

Step-by-step solution

Lenticels are lens-shaped openings formed during secondary growth in the periderm. They are present in the bark of old stems, older roots of dicot flowering plants, and the pericarp of 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. Therefore, lenticels are absent in leaves. Answer: leaves
