What is the product made by the electron transport chain

The answer is water.

Electron carriers are reduced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to NADH + H+ and FADH2. These carriers then donate electrons and protons to the electron carrier proteins of the electron transport chain. The final electron acceptor is oxygen. Together with oxygen, electrons and protons form molecules of water.

Reasoning: electrons from
NADH and
FADH_(2) go through the ETC to oxygen, which is reduced to water.
