For the first question, the correct answer is B) oxygen and glucose. The decrease in water due to drought will impact the products of photosynthesis, which produces glucose and releases oxygen when water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight are present.

For the second question, the correct answer is D) He could increase the amount of light they get. Providing more light will enhance photosynthesis, allowing the plants to produce more glucose, as light is essential for this process along with water and carbon dioxide.
