Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Because light reaction is much faster than dark reaction, so in continuous light there is accumulation of ATP and $ NADPH_2 $ and hence reduction in rate of photosynthesis but in discontinuous light, ATP and $ NADPH_2 $ formed in light are fully consumed during dark in reduction of $ CO_2 $ to carbohydrates.
