Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A - it is not possible as glucose is not the molecule that is released by a plant. Oxygen is the molecule

C - We can't directly use the glucose by plants

B is the right answer as glucose is converted to pyruvate which then is transported into the matrix in the mitochondria to continue cellular respiration.

Hope that helps.
