The correct option is D

Glucose and oxygen


The correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct answer:

  1. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food with the help of chlorophyll, water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.
  2. Glucose and oxygen are the two final products formed.
  3. The glucose is then utilised by the plants as a source of energy.
  4. The reaction occurs in the presence of sunlight.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Final answer: Glucose and oxygen are the end products of photosynthesis.
