Solution

The correct option is A into starch in all plants
The first product of photosynthesis is sugar and it is converted into starch in all plants. The initial process of photosynthesis is the decomposition of water into oxygen, which is released and hydrogen. Direct light is required for this process. The hydrogen, carbon and oxygen of carbon dioxide are then converted into a series of increasingly complex compounds that result finally in a stable organic compound, glucose (or starch) and water.
