Solution
The correct option is D Oxygen Oxygen is released during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants produce glucose. It involves the conversion of carbon dioxide gas, water, and minerals the plants take in from their surroundings into sugar and gaseous oxygen.

The release of oxygen is due to photolysis of water in order to fill the gap in the photosystem created by the excitement of electron.
