The correct option is D Photolysis of water and phosphorylation of ADP to ATP

Photochemical reaction is also known as light reaction because it takes place in the presence of light in the grana portion of chloroplast. In this reaction, photolysis of water takes place, which generates oxygen simultaneously; photophosphorylation takes place which generates ATP and NADPH.
