Solution

The correct option is B Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants synthesise their food, which is glucose, using simple inorganic constituents - carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight. It takes place in special organelles called chloroplast in the plant cell. Chloroplast has green pigments called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps to absorb the sunlight required for photosynthesis.
