During photosynthesis six water molecules are produced from:

​

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (D)   12$$H_2O$$

• During photosynthesis, six water molecules are produced from the splitting of twelve water molecules during the light-dependent reactions.

Information booster:

• ​This process is part of the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II, where water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons.
  
• The simplified reaction for photosynthesis can be:
  

6$$CO_2$$ + 12$$H_2O$$ + light → $$C_6$$$$H_12$$$$O_6$$ + 6$$O_2$$ + 6$$H_2O$$

• Source of water molecules produced: These six water molecules are a byproduct of the photosynthetic process and come from the splitting of water during the light reactions.
• Function of water splitting: It provides electrons to replace those lost by chlorophyll molecules in photosystem II and releases oxygen as a byproduct.
