Solution

The correct option is C $6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$
Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophs such as green plants use carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight to synthesize nutrients such carbohydrates in the form of glucose and release oxygen. Oxygen released is due to the splitting of water during photosynthesis. It also releases energy in form of ATP.
So, the correct answer is option B.
