The equation for photosynthesis is

CO2 + 2H2O + photons → [CH2O] + O2 + H2O

Thus you can see that oxygen from both Water and Carbon dioxide may be contributing to the O2 formed (the Carbon ends up with just one Oxygen attached and another one is left when a water molecule loses its hydrogens.

One could therefore label either Carbon dioxide or Water (or both) with radioactive Oxygen to produce radioactive oxygen in photosynthesis.
