Answer:

A. carbon dioxide, oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that certain organisms (plants, algae and some bacteria) undergo to produce their own food. The equation for photosynthesis is:

water + carbon dioxide + light energy —> glucose + oxygen

In photosynthesis, the plant takes water, carbon dioxide and light energy from the sun and turns it into glucose (sugar, or the food) and oxygen.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. carbon dioxide, oxygen. The plant will use carbon dioxide and then release oxygen as a waste product.
