None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Synthesis”-the making of the sugar-is a separate process called the Calvin cycle. Both processes happen inside a chloroplast. This is a specialized structure, or organelle, in a plant cell. The structure contains stacks of membranes called thylakoid membranes.
Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, light energy trapped by leaves is converted into chemical energy which is stored in the starch molecues.
