Solution
The correct option is A Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis (P) is the process by which plants synthesise their own food.
It utilises carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll and forms simple sugars and carbohydrates such as glucose and releases oxygen as the byproduct.
Respiration (R) and combustion (Q) release carbon dioxide into the air.
Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water from the aerial parts of plants.
