Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A cannot be true as photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and water and uses light energy to break bonds and form oxygen and glucose

C cannot be true as chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which gives the cell its green colour by not absorbing green wavelengths of white light

D is not right as I do not believe photosynthesis is a basic function
