Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is split to produce an electron to replace the one that is excited at the reaction system of photosystem I and II. The excited electron passes through a convey of protein molecules pigments as it loses energy. This harnesses energy is used to pump H+ ions (from the split water) from the stroma to the lumen of the thylakoid – creating a proton motive force. In the end, this electron is used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH. Oxygen from the photolysis is then evolved from the leaves.
