Explanation:

The Calvin cycle is part of the light - independent reactions of photosynthesis. It uses carbon dioxide and energy - carrying molecules (ATP and NADPH) from the light - dependent reactions to produce sugar (glucose). Oxygen is produced in the light - dependent reactions, carbon dioxide is taken in as a reactant for the Calvin cycle, and ATP is used up in the Calvin cycle rather than being produced.

Answer:

C. Sugar
