Solution

The correct option is D
Photosynthesis & respiration

The process of photosynthesis synthesizes glucose which is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
