Solution

The correct option is A Provides heat energy for leaves to convert into light energy
The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata. so, 'the correct option is - Provides heat energy for leaves to convert into light energy'
