The correct answer is A. the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis allows plants, such as corn and sugar cane, to convert sunlight into energy, which enables them to grow and produce biomass that can be harvested for ethanol production. This means that as long as there are plants growing and being harvested, ethanol can be continually produced, making it a renewable resource.
