Solution

The correct option is C

excess CO2 and H+ ions


The chemosensitive area is sensitive to changes in CO2 & H+ ion concentration in blood. Increase in these substances can activate this area, which in turn can signal the rhythm centre to make necessary adjustments in the respiratory process by which these substances can be eliminated.
