Photolysis is a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken down by photons.

Photo-light, respiration takes place so it is known as photo-oxidation.

Photo Oxidation means knockout of electrons from a chemical compound in the presence of light by the high energy photons striking the compound and transferring their energy to the compound and thus knocking them out.

In case of plants photo oxidation is the same phenomenon (described above) , which leads to destruction of light capturing machinery chlorophyll. Accessory pigments like carotenoids play role in saving the plant from photo oxidation by absorbing the high intensity light.

I) photosynthesis is minimum in the green color as it reflects it all.

II) the 2 electrons produced go to the photosystem 2 where they are used to reduce the excited chlorophyll pigments.

Photooxidation:

Photo means light.
Oxidation this is addtion of oxygen and removal of hydrogen.
So, C is the correct answer.

I think photooxidation means in which light and oxygen both are involved, so option D is right.

Lysis means division that's why all are correct.
