If carbon dioxide is not removed properly from the body, which life process will show imbalance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both respiration and excretion
Cellular respiration continuously produces carbon dioxide as a waste product when food molecules are oxidised for energy. The lungs remove this gas during exhalation, making its elimination an excretory function as well. If removal fails, carbon dioxide accumulates and disturbs respiration and internal balance. Therefore option A is correct; photosynthesis, ingestion, and transpiration are not the relevant human processes here.
