Answer Key : (d) -

(d)

In photosystem-I, the photocentre is a special chlorophyll-a molecule called , which is active in both red and far-red light, while a very small amount of special from of chlorophyll-a called , constitutes the reaction centre of photo system-II. PS-II is inactive in far-red light (beyond 680 nm).
