The function of light is to excite a specialized chlorophyll in the reaction centre either by Direct absorption or more frequently, via energy transfer from an antenna pigment, This excitation process can be envisioned as
a.) An electron from the lowest-energy filled orbital of the chlorophyll to the highest-energy unfilled orbital
b.) An electron in the upper orbital is only tightly bound to the chlorophyll and is difficult to fetch the electron nearby molecules
c.) The electron in the upper orbital is only loosely bound to the chlorophyll and is easily lost if a molecule that can accept the electron is nearby
d.) The promotion of an electron from the highest-energy filled orbital of the chlorophyll to the lowest-energy unfilled orbital
Which combination is CORRECT?

The process is that the absorbed photon causes an electron rearrangement in the reaction centre chlorophyll, followed by an electron transfer process in which part of the energy in the photon is captured in the form of
