Solution

The correct option is B Any gaseous exchange between the plant and its environment.
The compensation point refers to the situation, when there is no net exchange of gas between plant or environment. In other words, photosynthetic uptake of carbon dioxide is exactly balanced by respiratory output of carbon dioxide. Thus, there is no net photosynthetic gain.
