Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen is not required for photosynthesis so we should just cross it out of the list. Secondly, the factors upon which photosynthesis depend are sunlight, carbon dioxide and temperature. So this also puts an end to water. As for carbon dioxide, if its amount is increased, the stomata of leaves will close and will not allow more of it to enter and thus process of photosynthesis will eventually decrease. And if we decrease the amount of carbon dioxide, plant will not be able to make its food properly.
