What is the most logical explanation for why Alice saw bubbles forming in the leaves of the elodea?

In the experiment, Alice placed a sprig of Elodea in water with sodium bicarbonate as a source of carbon and then placed it under a strong light so it would photosynthesize.
Given that photosynthesis takes a carbon source, water, and light to produce glucose and oxygen, the most logical conclusion is that the bubbles are formed because the Elodea plant is releasing oxygen (option c).
