Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
The source of oxygen that evolved during photosynthesis is H2O.
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy, through cellular respiration.
Two water molecules are oxidized by the energy of four successive charge-separation reactions of photosystem II to yield a molecule of diatomic oxygen and four hydrogen ions. The oxidation of water is catalyzed in photosystem II by a redox-active structure.
