B- Because on the right side of th equation in respiration it contains ATP…. And what is on the right is what is made or produced!

So…

Photosynthesis: 6 carbon dioxide+ water + light energy = glucose + 6 oxygen

Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen = 6 Water…

Ummm Glucose IS Energy so I’d pick A…

Not entirely sure though
