The correct answer is carbon dioxide from the air. Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through tiny openings called stomata on their leaves. They use this carbon dioxide during a process called photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide is converted into sugars and other organic compounds.
