Solution

The correct option is C oxygen; carbon dioxide
  • Plant leaves and roots play a major role in the respiration process.
  • Leaves have tiny pores called stomata which helps in the gaseous exchange.
  • During respiration, the oxygen from the air enters the stomata and is utilised to produce energy, whereas carbon dioxide and water are given out as a waste product.
