Plant process that converts carbon dioxide into carbohydrates
A
Photosynthesis
B
Cellular respiration
C
Carbohydrates
D
Carbon fixation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants make carbohydrates from Carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Using the energy carriers formed in the first stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle reactions fix CO2 from the environment to build carbohydrate molecules. An enzyme, RuBisCO, catalyzes the fixation reaction, by combining CO2 with RuBP.

Detailed explanation-4: -The oxyhydrogen reaction proceeds undisturbed only in the presence of carbon dioxide, which simultaneously is reduced according to the equation CO2 + 2H2
