Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, water (H2O) is the source of oxygen released during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oxygen released during photosynthesis is from the water. The plants will absorb water as well as carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Later these water molecules are converted into oxygen and sugar. The oxygen is then released into the atmosphere whereas the sugar molecules are stored for energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The by-product of the water-splitting reaction is molecular oxygen.
