A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, Glucose is the main product, which is carbohydrate or simple sugar release during the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, food is produced in plants in the form of glucose. The glucose gets converted to a polymeric form of carbohydrate called the starch. Therefore, the food prepared in plants is stored in the form of starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Their roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis, which means ‘making out of light’. The foods are called glucose and starch.
