Leaves respire and utilize O2 and release CO2.
Photosynthesis and respiration occur at the same rate. So there is no net exchange of gases between atmosphere and plants.
The rate of photosynthesis increases, so does the O2 production, with a net release of oxygen coupled with the uptake of CO2.
The rate of respiration becomes more than the rate of photosynthesis.
✅ The correct answer is option B.
