Solution

The correct option is C water, $C O_{2}$ and chlorophyll
Photosynthesis:-
$6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O s u n l i g h t \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$
Essential for the reaction-
Water- It helps to reduce the $C O_{2}$ and convert it in the chemical molecule glucose $(C_{6} H_{12} O_{6})$ .
$C O_{2}$ - it is required for the carboxylation of enzyme rubisco and form further products that leads to form the glucose.
Chlorophyll- It works for two processes,
Light reaction- Trapping of sunlight and formation of energy molecule(ATP).
Dark reaction- it occurs in the stroma of chlorophyll and leads to the formation of glucose.
