Sunlight, carbon dioxide and water produce carbohydrates through a process known as
A
Photosynthesis
B
Inspiration
C
Oxidation
D
Respiration
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 is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen in the presence of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Splitting of water in presence of sunlight is known as photolysis of water. This results in hydrogen and oxygen production during photosynthesis. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis which is released in the atmosphere. Photolysis of water in photosynthesis occurs inside the thylakoids.
