Solution

The correct option is D Photo systems – I and II are involved in Z – scheme.

Photophosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate in the presence of sunlight. When the two photo systems, work in a series, first PS – II and then the PS – I, a process called non-cyclic phosphorylation occurs in the two photosystems that are connected through an electron transport chain in Z - scheme. (due to the shape of path of electrons flow). Both ATP and NADH + H+ are synthesized by this kind of electron flow.
