Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Green plant do not give out CO2 during day time because they consume it in photosynthesis.
During daylight hours, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, and at night only about half that carbon is then released through respiration. Plants typically absorb CO2 and release oxygen, but they also “exhale” CO2, particularly at night, when photosynthesis ceases due to the lack of sunlight.
