Solution

The correct option is C $6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 O_{2}$
Photosynthesis is the process of conversion of light energy to chemical energy. it mainly takes place in two steps, light reaction, and dark reaction.
The light reaction occurs in the thylakoid while the dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
So, the correct answer is option B.
