Solution

The correct option is D
Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal

In the process of photosynthesis
$6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O h v - - \to C h l C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} (G l u c o s e) + 6 H_{2} O + 6 O_{2} ↑$
Plants manufacture glucose from $H_{2} O$ and $C O_{2}$ and oxygen gas is released. So, due to isotopic carbon of $C O_{2}$ , only glucose will be labelled, but oxygen will be normal.
