Answer:
D) energy from the sun, air, and water
Explanation:
Plants are producers because they undergo photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of taking sunlight, CO2, and water to produce ATP in the form of glucose and oxygen.
For plants to make their own food they require the reactants of photosynthesis. The reactants are sunlight+. In other words, sunlight, carbon dioxide (air), and water. Without these reactants, photosynthesis cannot occur.
Things such as soil and fertilizer are helpful to a plant's growth; however, they are not required in the process that creates food for plants.
