Solution
The correct option is A Oxidation Photolysis is the process of breakdown of water molecule in the presence of sunlight. It results in the release of oxygen and hydrogen. It is also called as photodecomposition. It occurs during photosynthesis in a series of light-driven oxidation events. In this, water absorbs photons and the energy released during this process drives oxidation processes induced by light.
