Solution

The correct option is D 14C and 18O
  1. Photosynthetic rates of the large centric diatom Coscinodiscus granii were measured by means of multicolor variable chlorophyll fluorescence imaging, single cell 14C assimilation, and optical O2sensor measurements during light.
  2. 18O was used to prove that water is the molecule from which oxygen is liberated during photosynthesis.
So the correct option is '14C and 18O'.
