Solution

The correct option is C CO2
The end products of aerobic metabolism of carbohydrates are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide remains dissolved in the blood and is carried by the veins to the lungs for oxygenation. If carbon dioxide is not removed from the metabolizing tissues, it will be toxic for that tissue and stop metabolism.
So, the correct option is 'Carbon dioxide'.
