Answer 4

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is 12. On the reactant side, there are 12 atoms of hydrogen from the 12 molecules of C6H12O6. According to the law of conservation of matter, the number of atoms of each element must be equal on both sides of the reaction. Therefore, there must be 12 atoms of hydrogen on the product side as well.
