The correct answer is **c) Need sunlight to drive the process**.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose. If the atmosphere is filled with dust after a meteor strike, the dust can block sunlight from reaching plants, which would severely hinder or halt the photosynthesis process.
