Explanation:

Plasmodium belongs to protozoa.

Which is why , Plasmodium is correctly matched with option I (Protozoa).

Endospores show high stability even under unfavorable environmental conditions, which is why stable resting stage of some Gram-positive bacteria is correctly matched with option P (Endospore)

Alphaproteobacteria vary in their size and shape. Which is why it is correctly matched with option N (vary in shape and size)

Firmicutes are in the clostridia class.

Hence, it is correctly matched with option R (Clostridia).

Entamoeba has a lobe-shaped pseudopodia. Which is why it is correctly matched with option T (Lobe-shaped pseudopodia).

Capsid is the protein shell of a virus. Which is why it is correctly matched with option S (Virus).

Bacillus is a rod-shaped bacterium. Which is why, Bacillus is correctly matched with option L (Rod-shaped).

The virus that attacks bacteria is called bacteriophage. Which is why we matched bacteriophage correctly with option S (Virus).

Hyphae is part of the fungi life cycle. Which is why, Hyphae is correctly matched with option C (Fungi).

Retroviruses are examples of HIV and single stranded RNAs. Which is why, Retroviruses is correctly matched with option D (HIV, +ssrna).

the answer is:

carbon dioxide
