Photosynthesis is a process found only in plants, not in animals: so we can only consider the first and the last question.

It uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen; so the last option is false.

The correct answer is: A) Grass uses photosynthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth.
