Answer:

The correct option is;

A gas produced during photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical reaction of photosynthesis is given as follows;

6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) + Energy from light → C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g)

Therefore, six molecules of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) combine withe six molecules of liquid water (H₂O) in the presence of energy from Sunlight to produce one molecule of solid glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and six molecules of gaseous oxygen (O₂)

The 6O₂ is the gaseous oxygen produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis
