Solution

The correct option is D Photolysis of water and phoshorylation of ADP to ATP.
Chloroplasts contain light trapping chlorophyll molecules. The chlorophyll molecules are an essential requirement for light reaction. The light energy is trapped by chlorophyll molecules for carrying out photolysis of water i.e., light dependent split of water molecules and photophosphorylation i.e., light dependent synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
