Correct answer is (d) Root surface

Easy explanation: Lipophilic compounds enter the plant tissues in the terrestrial regions through root and shoot surface along the entire surface, and not through the Sub-cellular region or the food chain, Xenoestrogen is a hormone that have similar functions to natural endogenic estrogen produced by the body of an organism but are chemically different and synthetically administered.
