1(iii)
Assertion (A): Oxygen is produced during light dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
Reason (R): Oxygen is released as a byproduct during photolysis.
- (a)(A) is true and (R) is false.
- (b)(A) is false and (R) is true.
- (c)Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- (d)Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Reason — Photolysis occurs in the thylakoid membranes during the light-dependent stage, producing oxygen.
