Solution

The correct option is B
Cannot happen if the light-dependent reaction does not occur

The carbon assimilation step of photosynthesis is a light-independent reaction, but it requires the assimilatory powers (ATP and NADPH) produced during the light-dependent reaction. It does not involve photolysis of water.
