Solution
The correct option is D Photo-system -II
The Z-scheme includes the oxidation/reduction reactions occurring during the light phase of photosynthesis. By replenishing lost electrons with electrons from the splitting of water, photosystem II provides the electrons for all of the photosynthesis to occur.
The splitting of water is associated with the PS II; water is split into H+, {O} and electrons. This creates oxygen, one of the net products of photosynthesis. The electrons needed to replace those removed from PS I are provided by PS II.
