The best description for the process of photosynthesis is:

A. Photosynthesis is the transfer of matter and flow of energy between the plant and its environment.

This option accurately captures the idea that photosynthesis involves the transformation of carbon dioxide and water (matter) into glucose and oxygen, as well as the capture of light energy from the Sun, reflecting both the matter involved in the process and the energy flow.
