The product of photosynthesis is C. oxygen

<h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Plants need energy from sunlight for this process to occur. The green pigments in plants called chlorophyll are responsible for getting this energy from the sun. During photosynthesis, light energy is converted to chemical energy. This chemical reaction can be represented using the chemical equation:

$carbon \ dioxide \ + \ water + (light \ energy)\rightarrow \ glucose \ + \ oxygen$

$6 \ CO_{2} \ + 6 \ H_{2}O \ + \ (light \ energy) \rightarrow \ C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} \ + 6 \ O_ {2}$

The substances that appear to the left of the arrow are called the reactants. They are the starting substances. In this case, the reactants are carbon dioxide and water. The substances to the right of the arrow are called the products of the reaction. They are the new substances formed. In photosynthesis, the products are glucose and oxygen.

The site for photosynthesis in the plants are the leaves. Leaves have stomata or tiny openings that allow carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf. The size of the opening of the stomata are controlled by guard cells which respond to certain stimuli or conditions that determine whether the stomata must be closed or opened.

The products of photosynthesis are carried to different parts of the plants called the phloem. The breakdown of glucose releases energy that plants need to grow.
