Solution

The correct option is A Converts NADP to NADPH
Photolysis of water takes place in the grana of the chloroplast. In this reaction, the light energy from the sun is absorbed by the chlorophyll in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. This energy breaks the water molecule to release oxygen and hydrogen.The hydrogen ions released during the photolysis of water are picked up by a compound NADP to form NADPH.
