Answer 2

Option c is the right answer. Both photosynthesis and respiration involve both oxidation and reduction.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
• Here actually light energy is converted into chemical energy.
• Photosynthesis is considered a redox reaction.
• In photosynthesis water is oxidized to oxygen and carbon in carbon dioxide is reduced to sugar, a hydrocarbon.
• Respiration is also a redox reaction.
• It is some what opposite to photosynthesis.
• In respiration sugar oxidised to carbon dioxide and oxygen molecules is reduced to form water
