Solution
The correct option is A Non cyclic Phosphorylation
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation or Z-scheme is inhibited by CMU and DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea). DCMU is a herbicide which kills the weed by inhibiting CO2 fixation as it is a strong inhibitor of PS-II. PS-II is not active during cyclic photophosphyrlation.
