A
An adaptation of plants that allows them to add nutrients to the soil.
B
A chemical reaction involving nitrogen and other atmospheric gases.
C
A process by which plants produce sugar using energy of sunlight.
D
An exchange of gases between animals and the air or water of their habitat.
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: -Photosynthesis is the process that plants use in the presence of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide taken in by their leaves and water taken in through the roots to produce oxygen and sugar (glucose). This process takes place in the chloroplast of the plant cell with the presence of the green pigment of chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following best summarizes photosynthesis? A process by which plants produce sugar using the energy of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water combine with solar energy to create glucose, a carbohydrate (C6H12O6), and oxygen. The process can be summarized as: in the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide + water
