The correct answer is:

C. Carbon(IV) oxide

Explanation:
In plants, the main excretory product of respiration (a metabolic process) is carbon(IV) oxide (CO₂).

It is produced during aerobic respiration, especially in the absence of light, and is released through stomata.

What about the other options?
A. Oxygen:

It's actually a by-product of photosynthesis, not metabolism/excretion from respiration.

B. Alkaloids:

These are secondary metabolites, not main excretory products.

D. Mucilage:

It's used for storage, protection, or water retention, not excretion.

Final Answer:
C. Carbon(IV) oxide
