Solution

The correct option is D $6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 O_{2}$
Photosynthesis is an enzyme regulated anabolic process which involves the synthesis of organic compounds, inside the chlorophyll containing cells, from CO $_{2}$ and H $_{2}$ O with the help of sunlight as a source of energy. Oxygen evolved during photosynthesis comes from water. The equation for photosynthesis can be summarised as follows:

$6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O C h l o r o p h y l l - ------ \to S u n l i g h t C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 O_{2}$
