Solution

The correct option is A Photophosphorylation
The process by which ATP is synthesised by cells (in mitochondria chloroplasts) is named as phosphorylation. Photophosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the presence of light, inside chloroplast. Photophosphorylation is of two main types - cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
