The correct answer is Option (2)- stomata

Tiny pores present on the surface of leaves are known as stomata.

Explanation:

Stomata are small openings or pores, typically found on the surface of plant leaves (and some stems), that allow the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapor between the plant and the surrounding environment. The opening and closing of stomata are regulated by guard cells, helping to control the balance of gas exchange and water loss in plants through a process called transpiration.
