Leaf
D
All the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Consequently, leaves, stems and roots of plants separately exchange gases. Leaves possess stomata – tiny pores, for gaseous exchange. The oxygen consumed via stomata is used up by cells in the leaves to disintegrate glucose into water and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -The roots of a plant take up air from the spaces between the soil particles. Root hairs are in contact with the air in the soil particles. Oxygen from the air in soil particles diffuse into root hair and reach all the cells of the root where it is utilised in respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants are adapted to carry out the process of respiration and photosynthesis. Gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can travel through tiny holes underneath the leaf called stomata .
