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.
