No no no
A is actually correct. Plants do release carbon dioxide during respiration. I mistook it for photosynthesis😅. Then the carbon dioxide reacts with the lime water to give it a white (milky) precipitate😁

It's similar question to the next number answe is B


Lime water turns milky when carbon dioxide gas is passed through it due to the formation of calcium carbonate. This is a result of the reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and calcium hydroxide in lime water.

In the context of the experiment setup shown in the image, the plant in container B would produce carbon dioxide during respiration. This carbon dioxide would then enter container C through the connecting tube, causing the lime water in container C to turn milky. Therefore, the correct answer to your question is **B. during respiration carbon dioxide entered C**.

options A and B are pretty much the same things.. This is confusing

Sorry, i think it should be C since plants do not produce carbon dioxide
