Solution

The correct option is D 6CO2+12H2OSunlight−−−−−−ChlorophyllC6H12O6+6O2+6H2O
Plants make their own food from 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water in the presence of sunlight (heat energy) and chlorophyll to get glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen and ATP which provides energy. It converts heat energy into chemical energy.
Thus, the correct answer is '6CO2 + 12H12O \xrightarrow[Chlorophyll]{Sunlight} C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O.'
