Solution

The correct option is D Respiration
Plants, like all other living organisms, carry out mitochondrial respiration, the oxidation of substrates to $C O_{2}$ and the conversion of $O_{2}$ to $H_{2} O$ with the concomitant release of energy. Oxygen is consumed because respiration is essentially an oxidation process in which reduced substrates (produced in photosynthesis) are oxidised.
