Solution

The correct option is B CO2 and water.
  • The raw materials of photosynthesis are water and CO2.
  • During photosynthesis in plants, water, and carbon dioxide react in the presence of light and chlorophyll, to give carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen.

6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight = C6H12O6 + 6O2
