Solution

The process by which oxygen is added to ocean water by marine plants is photosynthesis (option d). Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Marine plants, like all photosynthetic organisms, absorb sunlight as a source of energy.

  2. They also take in carbon dioxide from their environment, which in this case is the ocean water.

  3. Through the process of photosynthesis, these plants use the energy from sunlight to convert the absorbed carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar that serves as a form of energy) and oxygen.

  4. The oxygen produced in this process is released back into the ocean water, thereby adding oxygen to it.

So, the correct answer is d) photosynthesis.
