Solution
The correct option is B PS- I During non-cyclic electron flow, the electron ejected on behalf of PS I by the reaction centre P700 moves uphill and reduces an iron-sulphur protein. From here, it moves downhill to ferredoxin (Fd) and then to NADP+, which is reduced to NADPH2. The enzyme which actually forms reduced NADPH2 is ferredoxin NADPH oxidoreductase.
