Answer 1

The correct answer is:

**A. Animals release carbon dioxide when they breathe, which plants take in to help make food.**

This explains a symbiotic relationship between plants and animals, where animals provide carbon dioxide that plants need for photosynthesis, and in return, plants produce oxygen that animals need to breathe.
