Answer:

a. Water

Step-by-step explanation:

An arrangement of chlorophyll and other pigments in the chloroplast is known as photosystems. In the photosynthetic eukaryotes, there are two photosystems, Photosystem II and Photosystem I. Photosystem I uses chlorophyll a, with reaction centre as P700. Photosystem II uses chlorophyll a with reaction centre P680.

During light reaction or photochemical reaction of photosynthesis, the light energy causes the removal of an electron from chlorophyll a reaction centre of Photosystem II P680. After losing an electron the P680 is deficient of an electron. P680 takes an electron from photolysis of a water molecule into eletron, H⁺ ions and O⁻² ions.
