Solution

The correct option is D
water + carbon dioxide $c h l o r o p h y l l, s u n l i g h t - --------------- \to$ glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis can be represented by the following equation :

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

Here, carbon dioxide and water are getting converted into glucose and oxygen in the presence of sunlight with the help of light absorbing pigment chlorophyll. Water is also produced in the process.
