Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants intake the carbon dioxide that is present in the atmosphere. They absorb it and along with water and other materials in the presence of sunlight is converted into chemical energy.

This chemical energy is glucose and the by-product that is released by splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen ions is released into the environment.

This oxygen is required for the process of cellular respiration.
