Solution

The correct option is D Photosystem I and photosystem II are both involved in non-cyclic photophosphorylation.

A. Chlorophyll a occurs with peak absorption at 700 nm in PS I and 680 nm in PS II.

B. Mn and Cl are associated with photolysis of water.

C. No O2 is evolved during cyclic photophosphorylation

D. In non electron transport process the excited electron from PS II is accepted by primary acceptor quinone, which sends them to an electron transport system consisting of plastoquinone, cytochrome complex and plastocyanin.The excited electron absorbed by PS I reaction center, then transfer to the ferredoxin(Fe), then the reduced Ferredoxin donates the electron to NADP+.

So, the correct answer is 'PS I and PS II are both involved in non- cyclic photophosphorylation'.
