Solution

The correct option is A Photosynthesis
The green plants carry on the process of photosynthesis. During this process, they take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce it to sugars. Simultaneously green plants absorb water from the soil and oxidize it by the process of photolysis to release electrons and oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is option A.
