The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of statements about photosynthesis, we will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I **Statement I:** In C3 plants, the primary CO₂ acceptor is RuBP. - **Analysis:** In C3 plants, the primary carbon dioxide acceptor is indeed Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). This is the first step in the Calvin cycle where CO₂ is fixed. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II **Statement II:** In the photosynthetic process, PS-II absorbs energy at or just below 680 nm. - **Analysis:** Photosystem II (PS-II) primarily absorbs light in the wavelength range of around 680 nm. It is known for its peak absorption at this wavelength. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement III **Statement III:** The chlorophyll-a that is present in photosystem-I has absorption maxima at 680 nm. - **Analysis:** Chlorophyll-a in Photosystem I (PS-I) actually has its absorption maximum at around 700 nm, not 680 nm. This is a common misconception. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion - **Correct Statements:** I and II are correct. - **Incorrect Statement:** III is incorrect. Thus, the correct answer to the question is that statements I and II are correct. ### Answer: The correct option is **4** (I and II only). ---
