Solution

The correct option is D Sunlight
Plants prepare their food by a process called photosynthesis.
Plants require sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to prepare their food.
Roots supply water from the ground to all parts of the plant like stem, leaves, etc.
On the underside of leaves, there are small openings called stomata. It is from here that carbon dioxide enters the plant.
The leaves contain a green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs the sunlight and prepares food for the plant using carbon dioxide and water.
