Solution

The correct option is C chemical
Photosynthesis involves a pigment called chlorophyll which converts light energy into chemical energy. This chemical energy is stored as food. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants and some algal species. Plants need light energy, CO2 and H2O to make sugar in the presence of chlorophyll.
