B.
Explanation: The diagram shows animals taking in O2 and releasing CO2 (cellular respiration) and plants exchanging gases both ways (they use CO2 and produce O2 via photosynthesis but also consume O2 and release CO2 via respiration), so animals do respiration only while plants do both. Options A and C are false, and D states an incorrect causal reason.
