C
Thermal energy is converted into chemical energy
D
Radiant energy is converted into chemical energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, light energy trapped by leaves is converted into chemical energy which is stored in the starch molecues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.
