A. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Explanation: Photosynthesis produces sugar and oxygen, which are the starting materials (reactants) for cellular respiration. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, which are the reactants for photosynthesis, forming a cycle.
