Solution

The correct option is D Reduction of carbon dioxide
Photolysis of water to protons, electrons and $O_{2}$ takes place during the light phase. Light energy is used in the formation of ATP and NADPH during light reaction. Solar energy is absorbed during light reaction. $C O_{2}$ is not reduced during the light phase, it is reduced in the dark phase.
