The correct option that is food (an energy source) for a plant is:
**sugars that a plant makes**
Plants produce sugars through the process of photosynthesis, which serve as their primary energy source. The other options—minerals, water, and carbon dioxide—are important for plant growth and metabolism but do not serve as energy sources in the same way that sugars do.
