Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are, in a way, opposite reactions.

While photosynthesis takes the light energy and water and converts carbon dioxide into glucose, cellular respiration takes the glucose to produce chemical energy and it results in carbon dioxide and water.

This means that both reactions involve glucose, carbon dioxide, and also water, so this would be the correct answer (A).
