A Correct answer
Explanation

CO2 is the cellular waste that needs to be excreted out by the cell. It accumulates in high concentrations inside the cell. In the cell’s external environment, the concentration of CO2 is low as compared to that inside the cell. As soon as there is a difference of concentration of CO2 inside and outside a cell, CO2 moves out of the cell, from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration outside the cell by the process of diffusion. Thus, this is the correct answer.
