The correct equation for photosynthesis is: A.CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆)

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O) into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen (O₂). The general chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This means that carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of light energy (usually from the sun), are transformed into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B.CO₂ + sugar + H₂O →...
