Solution

The correct option is C Mn and Cl
Photolysis of water occurs during non cyclic electron flow. During non cyclic electron flow, the ultimate source of electrons is water. The water molecule is split in a process, called as photolysis. The electrons are ultimately used in reduction of oxidised NADP to form reduced NADPH2. The oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis. The mineral ions essential for photolysis are manganese, chlorine and calcium.
