A
allow carbon dioxide into the leaf
B
allow oxygen out of the leaf
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Its prime function is to exchange the gases by closing and opening the pores in the leaves. It assists in eradicating excess water from the leaves. It removes oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide at the time of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata allow a plant to take in carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. They also help to reduce water loss by closing when conditions are hot or dry. Stomata look like tiny mouths which open and close as they assist in transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control of water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is the reason stomata are present on the lower side of leaves. It reduces excess loss of water from the leaves. Gaseous exchange: The stomata are responsible for gaseous exchange in plants. They control the opening and closing of the pores to take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen during photosynthesis.
