Solution
The correct option is D I, II, III and IV Light reaction or photochemical phase is called as photophosphorylation or Hill's reaction. It includes non-cyclic phosphorylation and cyclic phosphorylation. During this reaction, the light is absorbed by the chlorophyll and water splits into H2 and 1/2O2. Oxygen is released as the byproduct of the reaction along with formation of carbohydrate. Along with oxygen, ATP and NADPH are also formed.
