The correct answer is **C. Photolysis: oxygen hydrogen ions (protons) and electrons that are given to photosystem II**.

Photolysis refers to the process of breaking down water molecules using light energy during photosynthesis, particularly at Photosystem II. This process produces oxygen, protons (hydrogen ions), and electrons.
