Solution

The correct option is A Photolysis
Photolysis of water occurs at grana i.e., lumen side of grana thylakoid membrane with the help of water splitting complex or OEC (oxygen evolvong complex). This step is associated with PS- II of Z- scheme.
Three minerals Mn ion, ${C a}^{+} +, {C l}^{-}$ are associated with splitting of water.
So, the correct answer is 'Photolysis'.
