Solution

The correct option is B

the light-independent reactions


Conversion of ATP to ADP takes place when the carbohydrate is formed. Reduction of carbon to form intermediate carbohydrate compounds and finally to glucose requires energy. This energy is obtained from ATP molecules by breaking the energy-rich phosphate bonds, thus resulting in the production of ADP.
