d) nadp+

A) High- energy sugars

Light independent reactions takes place in the grana region of the plant chloroplast (an organelle present in leaves) necessary for photosynthesis. These are also known as Calvin cycle. These are named as light independent reactions because light required for photosynthesis is already captured in light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The light independent reactions cannot takes place without light dependent reactions as, light independent reactions utilizes the products of light dependent reactions like ATP and NADPH for the production of sugars which are translocated to other plant parts.
