The answer is 1.
When carbohydrates are completely oxidized during respiration, the RQ is 1.
The term RQ refers to Respiration Quotient and is a dimensionless quantity. It is defined as the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide evolved to the volume of oxygen consumed. RQ depends on the respiratory substrate during respiration.
If the respiratory substrate is carbohydrates, it gets completely oxidized. Thus, the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide become equal.
