Solution

The correct option is C Taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen
The rate of photosynthesis and respiration are equal for a plant when it intakes the same amount of carbon dioxide and gives out the exact same amount of oxygen. This leads to self-sustainability. This phenomenon occurs because, after photosynthesis, oxygen is given out which will be utilized in respiration and after respiration carbon dioxide is given out which will be utilized in photosynthesis.
So, the correct option is 'Taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen'.
