A student is conducting an investigation about the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration. The student places a small green plant in a sealed container and measures the amount of CO2 and O2 gas in the container. For the first three days of the investigation, the student shines a light on the container and discovers that the O2 concentration increases significantly. Then the student places the container in a dark closet and notices that the O2 concentration decreases but that the CO2 concentration increases. Which of the following best explains why the student notices the change in oxygen concentration when the plant is placed in the dark closet?

A. The plant used the oxygen in the container to perform photosynthesis.
B. The plant production of carbon dioxide displaced the oxygen gas in the container.
C. The plant consumed the oxygen present in the container as a part of performing cell respiration.
D. The student did not seal the container properly so the gas concentrations are unbalanced.
