Solution

The correct option is C $C O_{2}$ is converted to carbohydrates in photosynthesis
Most organisms release or exhale $C O_{2}$ during respiration. This $C O_{2}$ present in the environment is utilized by plants in the process of photosynthesis with the final product being a carbohydrate. This is how the amount of $C O_{2}$ in the atmosphere is kept under check.
So, the correct answer is ' $C O_{2}$ is converted to carbohydrates in photosynthesis'.
