Solution

The correct option is C
photolysis of water; carbohydrate formation

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is utilized for carbohydrate production. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of the plant cells. The chlorophyll helps in trapping sunlight. The end products include oxygen which is released into the atmosphere and carbon dioxide alongside with other raw materials is used to form carbohydrates.
