Solution

The correct option is C Hexose monophosphate pathway
Hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP) or pentose phosphate shunt is an alternate glucose metabolism that occurs in adipose tissues, liver, erythrocytes, testes, adrenal glands, mammary glads etc. This pathway is performed to generate the $N A D P H_{2}$ to facilitate the cholesterol synthesis, steroid and lipid production and fatty acid synthesis. Thus signifying that HMP pathway readily takes place in tissues associated with lipogenesis like liver and adipose tissue. It is not linked with ATP generation. Also, the ribose sugars generated are used in DNA and RNA and many nucleotides like $A T P$ , $F A D H_{2}$ $C o A$ etc.
Photorespiration, light reaction and dark reaction are associated with phosphorylation.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Hexose monophosphate pathway'
