The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Process of Photosynthesis:** - Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. 2. **Identify the Role of Water (H2O):** - During photosynthesis, water (H2O) is split into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is known as photolysis. 3. **Recognize the Importance of Oxygen:** - The oxygen produced during the splitting of water is released into the atmosphere, which is essential for the survival of aerobic organisms. 4. **Determine the Elements Involved:** - The splitting of water molecules requires certain elements that act as catalysts. In this case, two key elements are involved in the process. 5. **Identify the Elements:** - The two elements responsible for the splitting of water (H2O) to liberate oxygen (O2) during photosynthesis are **manganese (Mn)** and **chlorine (Cl)**. 6. **Classify the Elements:** - Both manganese and chlorine are classified as micronutrients, which means they are needed in small amounts for the proper functioning of plants. 7. **Conclude the Answer:** - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the two elements responsible for splitting H2O to liberate O2 during photosynthesis are **manganese and chlorine**. ---
