Answer:
The correct option is: D. Photosynthesis
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a biological process in green plants by which food such as sugar (like glucose C₆H₁₂O₆), is synthesized from water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, in the presence of light energy. This process produces oxygen gas (O₂) as a by-product.
This reaction converts the light energy from the sun to chemical energy.
The reaction involved is: 6 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ (s) + 6 O₂ (g)
Photosynthesis is the only process among the given options, that produces oxygen gas.
