Solution

The correct option is B 16
Photophosphorylation is also known as oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle. It refers to the process of plant metabolism where the enzyme RuBisCo oxygenates RuBP. In this cycle, Each molecule of RuBP produces two molecules of 3- phosphoglycerate (PGA). Hence, if 8 molecules of RuBP is used, 16 molecules of PGA are produced.
Thus, the correct answer is '16.'
