Solution
The correct option is A Shifting of light Each photosystem has all the pigments (except one molecule of chlorophyll 'a') forming a light harvesting system also called antennae. These pigments help to make photosynthesis more efficient by absorbing different wavelengths of light. The single chlorophyll a molecule forms the reaction center. So Antenna pigment molecules transfer the light energy to the reaction center of light-harvesting complex. This phenomenon is called as Shifting of light.
