Solution

The correct option is B

Matter: Carbon dioxide, water Glucose, oxygen
Energy: Light energy Glucose (Chemical energy)


Green plants are called producers or autotrophs as they make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. The conversion of the matter is the transformation of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight into glucose (food) and oxygen. The light energy involved in this process is transformed into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose and starch.
