Solution

The correct option is D

Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal


In the process of photosynthesis
6CO2+12H2OhvChlC6H12O6(Glucose)+6H2O+6O2
Plants manufacture glucose from H2O and CO2 and oxygen gas is released. So, due to isotopic carbon of CO2, only glucose will be labelled, but oxygen will be normal.
