A
Oxygen
B
Light
C
Carbon Dioxide
D
Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis in involved in the water cycle because it facilitates transpiration and uses water as a reactant. During photosynthesis, plants use water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to make oxygen and glucose. The water is obtained from the ground and is taken into the plants through the roots.
