Answer:

The most suitable answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants manufacture their own food using water, carbon (iv) oxide and some other minerals in the presence of sunlight while cellular respiration is the oxidation (or breakdown) of substances in the mitochondria (site of cellular respiration) in living cells.
