B
Correct answer
Explanation
Stomata are minute apertures on plants found typically on the outer leaf skin layer, also known as the epidermis. They consist of two specialized cells called guard cells that surround a tiny pore called a stoma. Their main function is to allow gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and oxygen to move rapidly into and out of the leaf.
