Which of the following processes produces CO2?I. PhotosynthesisII. Alcohol (ethanol) fermentationIII. Lactic acid production
A
I only
B
II only
C
I and III only
D
I, II and III
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of respiration produces energy for organisms by combining glucose with oxygen from the air. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactate fermentation is an anaerobic fermentation reaction taking place in some types of bacteria and animal cells, like muscle cells. In this carbon dioxide is not released.

Detailed explanation-4: -They turn this food into energy and release carbon dioxide gas as a result. This process is known as fermentation. The carbon dioxide gas made during fermentation is what makes a slice of bread so soft and spongy.
