A
photosynthesis
B
air
C
sunlight
D
soil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -The green plants produces food in the form of glucose by utilizing carbon dioxide and water in the presence of solar energy. The green pigment called chlorophyll can trap the solar energy which is used to perform photosynthesis, that finally produces food in plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers rely directly on solar energy. They absorb sunlight and convert it into nutrients through a process called photosynthesis. Producers, also called autotrophs, include plants, algae, bacteria, and fungi.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biomass contains energy first derived from the sun: Plants absorb the sun’s energy through photosynthesis, and convert carbon dioxide and water into nutrients (carbohydrates). The energy from these organisms can be transformed into usable energy through direct and indirect means.
