Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the photosynthesis equation: Plants use carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$), water ($\ce{H_2O}$), and sunlight to produce glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$). Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: Water is a reactant, not a product of photosynthesis. Eliminate.
• Option 2: Glucose (a sugar) and oxygen are the correct products of photosynthesis.
• Option 3: ATP and NADPH are intermediate energy carriers in the light - dependent reactions, not the final products of the overall photosynthesis process. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Hydrogen is not a main product of photosynthesis (oxygen is produced from water splitting, and glucose is the main organic product). Eliminate.

Answer:

B. Glucose, oxygen
