Answer»

The correct option is (d) ^14C and ^18O

The explanation is: ^14C and ^18O were the isotopes used to research about photosynthesis. A plant UNDERGOING photosynthesis produces more ^18O than normal oxygen. Also, ^14C was used to ESTIMATE the PRESENCE of carbon atoms in the photosynthesis process.
