A. Reduction of NADP⁺

B. Oxidation of NADP

C. Oxidation of FAD

D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In photosynthesis, photolysis of water is used in the Reduction of NADP⁺.
It acts as the primary electron acceptor for the photosystems. As part of the electron transport chain, it manufactures ATP. As a component of photosystem II, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of water. It is reduced and then carries electrons to the Calvin cycle.
The electrons travel through the chloroplast electron transport chain to photosystem I (PSI), which reduces NADP⁺ to NADPH.
