Solution: Light isn’t required for dark reactions. Dark reaction, on the other hand, generates energy molecules from ATP and NADPH. There is no need for a photosystem. Water does not undergo photolysis. Since the dark process in photosynthesis does not require light energy, it is given that name. so, the correct answer is (b).
