The correct answer is:

**d** to make sugars and store energy.

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, typically from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose (sugars). This process also produces oxygen as a byproduct, which is beneficial for animals and humans.
