Hello!

The answer to your question is C.

Photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process carried out by green plants to convert water, carbon dioxide and minerals into oxygen and energy rich organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.

Here, it is given that

Food > Cellular respiration > Carbondioxide released

Food is the input and carbondioxide is the product of the process Cellular respiration.

Hence the complete model will be

Food > Cellular respiration > Carbondioxide released > Photosynthesis > Oxygen released + Food

Here carbondioxide is the input and food and oxygen are the products of the process photosynthesis.

~Hope this helps!~
