Verified Answer :

It is (b). A light dependent reaction requires light particles (photons) in order for the reaction to occur.

Correct answer choice is:

B. Requires photons to occur.

Explanation:

The light-dependent reactions utilize light energy to produce two molecules required for the following stage of photosynthesis: the energy warehouse molecule ATP and the decreased electron transport NADPH. In plants, the light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of organelles termed chloroplasts.
