Solution

Stomata are the epidermal pores bound by a pair of guard cells. That is, stomata itself is NOT a cell, it’s just the specialized opening in leaf epidermis or intercellular space enclosed by guard cells. The structure mediates gaseous exchange (CO₂ uptake, and O₂ release) during photosynthesis.

Options A and B: Incorrect. Stomata are NOT cells.

Option C. Stomata mediates gaseous exchange BUT do not transfer nutrients.

Option D and E. Correct. See explanation above.
