Solution

The correct option is A carbon dioxide, oxygen
The process by which the plant leaves absorb carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen in the presence of chlorophyll is called photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide + Water $\to$ Sugar + Oxygen.
It can be observed here that plants take in carbon dioxide gas and release oxygen gas during photosynthesis.
