Solution

The correct option is B $C O_{2}$ evolved $/ O_{2}$ taken in
The respiratory quotient is used for measurement of basal metabolic rate when estimated from CO $_{2}$ production. It is measured using a respirometer and is calculated as the the ratio of CO $_{2}$ produced by the body to O $_{2}$ consumed by the body.
So, the correct option is 'CO $_{2}$ evolved /O $_{2}$ taken in'
