The answer is A.

—Evidence—

-Plants carry our both the processes, thus generating food and energy. In fact, cellular respiration is carried out continuously throughout their life, while photosynthesis is only carried out during the hours when sunlight is available.

- Plants have mitochondria and can perform cellular respiration.
