Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of photosynthesis can be describes as the process by which the energy from the sun is absorbed by the pigments present in the leaves.

These pigments are known as chlorophyll and they absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy which is broken down by the plants by the process of cellular respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is option a
