Plants are called Autotrophs. As they obtain the required energy & carbon from carbon dioxide (CO₂ gas) and sunlight. As sunlight is necessary for all living beings. They make carbohydrates from CO₂ gas & H₂O. Hence, you should go with the option [C].
[C]They convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates in the absence of Sunlight
As we know that “autotrophs” can convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates only in the presence of Sunlight. Hence, your answer will be answer [C].
[C] They convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates in the absence of sunlight.
