The scenario that would lead to the plant’s death is a lack of carbon dioxide.

While the plant can produce sugars during photosynthesis using light and carbon dioxide, if it is sealed in a transparent glass container without sufficient carbon dioxide, it would not be able to carry out photosynthesis effectively. Over time, the plant would consume the oxygen in the container and then suffer from a lack of carbon dioxide, leading to its eventual death.

The other options (lack of sugars, lack of light, and lack of oxygen) would also affect the plant, but in a sealed environment, the limitation in carbon dioxide would be critical.
