Solution

The correct option is D 36 ATP & 24 NADPH
For the formation of one glucose molecule, the assimilatory energy required is 18ATP and 12NADPH2. A sucrose molecule is composed with 2 glucose molecule, so the assimilatory energy required for the formation of one sucrose molecule is 36ATP, and 24NADPH2.
So, the correct option is '36ATP and 24NADPH'.
