Solution
The correct option is B
photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert inorganic compounds to energy-rich organic compounds; respiration breaks down these organic compounds to synthesize ATP
Cellular respiration can be considered as the reverse process of photosynthesis. While photosynthesis uses the basic organic compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to synthesize glucose and release oxygen, in cellular respiration glucose is broken down in presence of oxygen into carbon dioxide and water once again.

Solution
The correct option is D
photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert inorganics to energy-rich organics; respiration breaks down energy-rich organics to synthesize ATP
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
