Answer: B. light and dark reactions

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process by which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide, and water, using light energy in chloroplasts. During the process of photosynthesis, both light and dark reactions occur in the chloroplast. The light responses depend on light to produce organic energy molecules (ATP and NADPH) which are stimulated by chlorophyll (green-colored pigment) while the dark reactions are light-independent.
