Answer
The correct answer is **(e) Both "a" and "b".**Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugar (glucose). This sugar serves two main purposes:* **Produce sugar for themselves to use (a):** Plants use the sugar they produce as food for growth, cellular respiration, and other metabolic processes.* **Produce sugar for animals to use (b):** When animals eat plants, they consume this stored sugar, which they then use for their own energy needs.Options "c" and "d" are incorrect. Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and water, it doesn't produce them. Oxygen is produced as a byproduct.
