Answer:

A. ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cyclic electron flow in the chloroplast includes only PSI and does not produce NADPH and oxygen gas. The process produces the only ATP.

During cyclic electron flow, electrons are transferred from the P700 reaction center to the ferredoxin and back to the PSI via cytochrome b6f and plastocyanin.

Since the electrons are not passed to the NADP+, NADPH is not produced. The proton gradient generated during this electron transfer drives ATP synthesis.
