Solution

The correct option is C Photosynthesis
  • Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight. In this process, oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.
  • Combustion and respiration are oxygen utilising processes.
  • Denitrification is the process in which nitrites are converted back into atmospheric nitrogen.
