Solution

The correct option is B $R Q C O_{2} / O_{2}$
Ratio of volume of CO2 liberated to volume of O2 consumed is called respiratory quotient. R.Q. for carbohydrates is 1, for fats and proteins is <1 and for organic acids is >1. R.Q. measures the efficacy of the substrate to release energy for every molecule of oxygen it consumes.
So the answer is 'RQCO2/O2'.
