Solution
The correct option is D All of the above The light reaction involves photophosphorylation and photolysis of water which releases O2, NADPH2 and ATP. The NADPH2 and ATP is synthesised during non-cyclic photophosphorylation, only ATP during cyclic photophosphorylation. Due to photolysis water breaks down and oxygen is evolved as a by-product.
