Solution

The correct option is C $6$
In our body, sugar $(C_{6} H_{1} 2 O_{6})$ is oxidised by the oxygen.WE breath and energy is produced. $C O_{2}$ is produced which we release into the atmosphere.
The reactioncan be represented by:
$C_{6} H_{1} 2 O_{6}$ $+$ $6 C O_{2}$ $⟶$ $6 C O_{2}$ $+$ $6 H_{2} O$ $+$ $e n e r g y$
Hence, 6 molecules of $C O_{2}$ is formed.
