Solution

The correct option is A 6CO2, 18 ATP and 12 NADPH
During Calvin cycle, for every carbon dioxide molecule that enters the pathway, 3 molecules of ATP and 2 NADPH are required.
To make one molecule of glucose, 6 carbon dioxide molecule need to enter the cycle.
Thus, 6 CO2, 18 ATP and 12 NADPH molecules will be required to make one molecule of glucose through Calvin cycle.
