Solution

The correct option is D Oxygen
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy. This chemical energy is stored in form of ATP which is used for fixation of carbon. During the light reaction, the water undergoes photolysis and produces oxygen which acts as a by-product of photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is option D.
