Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Producers are also known as autotrophs, which they make their own food. Producers capture sunlight energy and use it to convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) into O2 (oxygen) and C6H12O6 (glucose) for other organisms to use. This process is called photosynthesis.
