C. water and carbon dioxide
Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The simplified equation: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2. Phosphorus and nitrogen are nutrients plants need for growth, but they are not the main reactants in photosynthesis; oxygen is a product, not an input.
