The correct option is D
$O_{2}$

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other green organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy. In plants, energy from sunlight is used to convert $C O_{2}$ and water into chemical energy that is stored in the form of carbohydrates, such as glucose. As a result of this conversion, oxygen is released as a byproduct. Photosynthesis takes place in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

The reaction involved in the process of photosynthesis is given below:

$6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O s u n l i g h t \to c h l o r o p h y l l C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$
