Solution
The correct option is C Oxygen and carbohydrate
The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which is the carbohydrate molecule that produces energy to run the processes of the cell. Oxygen is mainly a byproduct of the process of photosynthesis. Six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are needed to produce one molecule of glucose.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Oxygen and carbohydrate.'
