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.
Thus, the correct answer is 'I, II, III and IV.'
