Answer:

C.to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants make their own food using sunlight. The photosynthetic process occurs in two main stages viz: light-dependent and light-independent stage. In the light-dependent stage, light energy from the sun is captured and used to power the synthesis of ATP and NADPH, which is used in the next stage.

In the light-independent stage or Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugar (glucose).
