Solution

The correct option is B X - Chlorophyll, Y - solar energy, Z - chemical energy
Cells in the leaves of the plants a special organelle called chloroplast which has pigments called chlorophyll. The chlorophyll pigment gives green colour to the leaves. Chlorophyll is present in all photosynthetic oreganisms. It captures solar energy and converts it to chemical energy. The chemical energy is used by the plants for the synthesis of glucose which is a food source for the plants. This process is known as photosynthesis.
Flowers are reproductive structures in plants. Roots absorb water in the plants.
