B.
Light energy is entering, and chemical energy is exiting.

C.
Thermal energy is entering, and electrical energy is exiting.

D.
Chemical energy is entering, and light energy is exiting.

Answer 1

B. Light energy is entering, and chemical energy is exiting.

Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (chemical energy stored in the bonds) and oxygen.
