The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the process through which sugars are synthesized in all photosynthetic plants. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) CO2 fixation with PEP case - B) Calvin cycle reaction - C) Hatch and Slack reaction - D) Both C3 and C4 cycle reactions 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A (CO2 fixation with PEP case)**: This refers to a process primarily associated with C4 plants, where CO2 is fixed using phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEP case). It is not the primary pathway for sugar synthesis in all photosynthetic plants. - **Option B (Calvin cycle reaction)**: The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the chloroplasts of photosynthetic organisms. It is the primary pathway for sugar synthesis in all photosynthetic plants, making this a strong candidate. - **Option C (Hatch and Slack reaction)**: This refers to a variation of the Calvin cycle found in C4 plants, which is not applicable to all photosynthetic plants. - **Option D (Both C3 and C4 cycle reactions)**: While both cycles are involved in photosynthesis, the question specifically asks for the synthesis of sugars in all photosynthetic plants, which is primarily through the Calvin cycle. 4. **Conclusion**: After analyzing the options, it is clear that the synthesis of sugars in all photosynthetic plants occurs mainly through the Calvin cycle. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **B) Calvin cycle reaction**. ---
