The correct answer is:
A

Gross Primary Production (GPP): This is the total rate at which solar energy is captured and stored as chemical energy (organic matter) by producers like green plants during photosynthesis.

Net Primary Production (NPP): This is what remains after plants use a portion of that energy for their own respiration (NPP = GPP – R)
