Solution

The correct option is C ATP and NADPH are formed
The ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to make sugars in the next stage of photosynthesis. The net result of this reaction is the production of 2 ATP and 9 NADPH and the photolysis of water. Light is absorbed and the energy is used to drive electrons from water to generate NADPH and to drive protons across a membrane. These protons return through ATP synthase to make ATP.
So, the correct option is ' ATP and NADPH are formed'.
