Solution

The correct option is B $6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O s u n l i g h t - ------ \to C h l o r o p h y l l C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesise food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight. Oxygen is a byproduct of this process and water vapour is also produced.
The correct equation for photosynthesis is :
$6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O s u n l i g h t - ------ \to C h l o r o p h y l l C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$
