A
Water
B
Sunlight
C
Radiation
D
Nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The light-dependent reaction takes place within the thylakoid membrane and requires a steady stream of sunlight, hence the name light-dependent reaction. The chlorophyll absorbs energy from the light waves, which is converted into chemical energy in the form of the molecules ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-2: -The source of energy that drives photosynthesis is sunlight or light energy. The sun produces energy that travels to Earth and is absorbed by chlorophyll inside the chloroplast of plants. Plants harness that light energy and convert it to chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Solution: Sunlight is the source of energy for photosynthesis.
