The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Excretory products in plants are substances that are waste products of metabolic activities and are not useful to the plant.
- \(CO_2\) is released as a waste product during cellular respiration. - Resins and gums are excreted by plants as part of their defense mechanisms.
- Dead cells are considered a form of waste as they no longer contribute to the plant's functioning.
Starch, however, is a stored form of energy and is not an excretory product. Thus, the correct answer is (B) Starch.
