Answer:

The correct answer is D) water vapor.

Step-by-step explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants make glucose from carbon dioxide and water with the help of sunlight. Respiration is opposite to photosynthesis in which the glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water.

Respiration occurs in both animals and plants which is required to provide energy to the system in the form of ATP. The carbon dioxide released during respiration is again taken by plants during photosynthesis to make glucose,

The reaction takes place during respiration is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

Therefore the correct answer is D) water vapor.
