Answer:
The correct answer is option C (solar energy is converted and stored in chemical bonds).
Step-by-step explanation:
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae and phototrohic bacteria which converts the solar energy into chemical energy.
This process takes place in a photosynthetic organelle called chloroplasts where chlorophyll pigment in association with proteins absorbs light from the sun and converts the light energy to chemical energy.
Light energy starts a chain of chemical reactions in chloroplast by transferring the electrons from PS II to PS I which produces NADPH and ATP which are used later in the formation of a product named "glucose", energy molecule of cell which stores the energy. This glucose further breaks down by a process called respiration and provides energy to a cell.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
