Identify the correct statement about photosynthesis: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement about photosynthesis:
A. The light reactions occur in the stroma.
B. Photorespiration increases the efficiency of photosynthesis.
C. ATP and NADPH are produced during the Calvin cycle.
D. Rubisco is the enzyme that fixes CO₂ in the Calvin cycle.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Rubisco catalyzes CO₂ fixation. Light reactions occur in thylakoids, ATP/NADPH are produced there, Calvin cycle uses them. Photorespiration reduces efficiency.
