Answer:

B. Veins–connect the vascular tissue to the stem

Step-by-step explanation:

A.- Wrong. The stomata's function is transpiration. They serve as receiving and releasing port for oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

B.- Veins. Incorrect, the veins are the organ in charge of connecting the vascular tissue that gathers and distributes water and food through the vascular net in the leaf.

C.- Incorrect, they capture light to propitiate photosynthesis.

D.- Cuticule's function is to prevent the escape of water on the epidermal plant's surface, as well as preventing the barrier for other molecules.

The reason behind B to be the best option is that the middle leaf vein connects the leaf to the stem.
