Answer:A. ATP and NADPH

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis consists of two stages; the light phase and the dark phase, the energy carriers in the dark phase are ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle has to do with carbon fixation- the production of glucose. The two energy carriers are produced in the light phase of photosynthesis. A diagrammatic representation of the cycle is attached.
