The object that converts light to chemical energy is **C. corn**. Corn, like other plants, undergoes photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Here's a quick overview of the other options:
- **A. ethanol plant**: While it produces ethanol (a biofuel) from plants like corn, it does not directly convert light to chemical energy.
- **B. light bulb**: It converts electrical energy into light, not light into chemical energy.
- **D. solar cell**: It converts light energy into electrical energy, not chemical energy.
So, the correct answer is C. corn.
