A
CO2, optimum temperature
B
Glucose and oxygen
C
Water and Minerals
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen (O2) is released during the process as a waste product. Hence, oxygen is not essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen is not essential for the process of photosynthesis because oxygen is released in this process when plants utilize the raw materials i.e., carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars (glucose). Hence, it is not essential to carry out the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four factors which are necessary for the process of photosynthesis, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-4: -To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘Oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide’
