Solution

The correct option is B It does not require light energy
During the light independent reaction or the Biosynthetic reaction, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and energy genrated in the form of ATP and NADPH during the light dependent reaction are combined to form sugars such as glucose.
As light is not required for this reaction to occur, it is also called as Dark reaction.
