Answer:

D) The total system that includes photosynthetic organisms in the sun becomes less ordered over time

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the total system that includes photosynthetic organisms and the Sun becomes less ordered over time, the incorporation of carbon dioxide molecules into organic molecules that occurs during photosynthesis does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.

I also got this question correct so I am sure.
