Solution

The correct option is A carbon dioxide
Much like animals, plants also respire and give out carbon dioxide. Plants breathe through the stomata. These are the minute openings on the surface of the leaves.
During respiration, the stomata opens and the air diffuses into the cells. After oxidation, carbon dioxide is given out. The reaction involved is :
$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} (s) + 6 O_{2} (g) \to 6 C O_{2} (g) + 6 H_{2} O (l) + E n e r g y$
