What do leaves use to make food?
A
air, flowers, seeds
B
air, sunlight, water
C
roots, stems, water
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Leaves do this by using sunlight for energy to take apart water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the air. Leaves use parts of water and carbon dioxide to make sugar. This food making is called photosynthesis, a large word which means making something new (synthesis) using light (photo).

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make food with the help of water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -The leaves of green plants contain chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight for producing food. This food is then used by the plant itself as well as other animals, including humans.
