Correct answer is (c) Energy and starch

Plants reserve very little of the glucose for immediate use. Dehydration synthesis is used to convert glucose to starch, which plants store and later utilise it as energy, overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is :

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light \(\overset{\text{chlorophyll}}{\longrightarrow}\) C6H12O6 + 6 O2
