Answer:

c. be able to to make ATP but not NADPH

Step-by-step explanation:

The light absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules induce the splitting of water to Oxygen and H+ (protons) in a process called photolysis. The accumulated protons in the lumen results in a gradient where these protons are transferred to the stroma by the ATP synthase. The energy released from the protons moving down the concentration gradient is used to ADP and Pi forming ATP.
