D. chemical energy

During photosynthesis, solar energy is captured by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of plant cells and is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar).

This process involves the transformation of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.

The chemical energy stored in glucose can later be used by the plant for various metabolic activities or transferred to other organisms through the food chain.
