Solution

The correct option is B $6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$
Photosynthesis is an anabolic process happening in green plants during which plant body synthesizes its own food material by taking carbon dioxide from atmosphere and water from the soil in presence of sunlight. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water help in the formation of glucose which is food for the plants and evolution of oxygen also takes place. In this process, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water is used to form one molecule of glucose. Six molecules of oxygen gas are evolved which comes from the water and not from the carbon dioxide.
