Solution
The correct option is C CO2
Photosynthesis involves two main phases known as light reaction and dark reaction. Dark reaction involves the fixation and reduction of carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of glucose. This reaction does not require light. So, it is also known as a light-independent reaction. This fixation of carbon dioxide requires energy that is provided by the energy currency, i.e., ATP, which is produced in the light reaction.
