Solution

The correct option is D Sugars and oxygen
Green plants capture solar energy and convert it into chemical energy by the process known as photosynthesis. It is an anabolic process of manufacturing of organic compounds. It is characterized by reduction of CO₂ and oxidation of water. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into simple carbohydrates and oxygen is liberated into the atmosphere.
So, the correct answer is Sugars and oxygen.
