Answer:

C) They make carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the process of photosynthesis, plants take carbon dioxide and water and turn that into glucose and oxygen. So, the bulk of a plant is mainly sugar and water. Glucose can be utilized to build many other types of carbohydrates in the plant.
