B) oxygen is oxidized.

Further explanation

Given

photosynthesis reaction

6CO2 + 6H20 ⇒ C6H12O6 + 602

Required

the oxidation compound

Solution

Oxidation-reduction reactions or abbreviated as Redox are chemical reactions in which there is a change in oxidation number

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, whereas Reduction is a decrease in oxidation number.

In the photosynthetic reaction, oxidation and reduction reactions occur in:

CO2 to C6H12O6 : reduction

Oxidation number of C from +4 to 0

H2O to O2 : oxidation

Oxidation number of O from -2 to 0
