Solution

The correct option is B Protein
The respiratory quotient (RQ) is calculated from the ratio: RQ = $C O_{2}$ eliminated / $O_{2}$ consumed. When protein is used as respiratory substrate, their hydrolysis product require more oxygen for complete oxidation. Due to this, the RQ falls to less than unity.
