Answer:

<h2>D. oxidation-reduction reaction </h2>

Explanation:

1. Oxidation-reduction reaction: An oxidation-reduction reaction (also known simply as redox reaction) is one of the type of chemical reaction, it involves a transfer of electrons between two species.

2. In plants light is absorbed by chlorophyll which causes transfer of electron from water, and the final acceptor of electron is oxygen.

3.Plants takes carbohydrates from environment and water from earth, and with the help of sun-light they make carbohydrates and oxygen, so they are called autotrophs.
