One of the enzyme that are involve in the ammonium assimilation is Asparagine synthetase (AS), some statements given below about AS such as,
a) This enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, is found in the cytosol of leaves and roots and in nitrogen-fixing nodules
b) High levels of light and carbohydrate inhibit the expression of genes coding for AS and the activity of the enzyme
c) Conditions of ample energy stimulate AS, thus they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate
d) Energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT, stimulate AS, and thus favor nitrogen assimilation into asparagine, a compound that is rich in nitrogen and sufficiently stable for long-distance transport or long term storage
Which of the following statements about AS is correct?

The conversion of ammonium to amino acids requires two enzymes such as GS and GOGAT,
a) High levels of light and carbohydrate—conditions that stimulate plastid GS and Fd-GOGAT
b) Conditions of ample energy inhibit GS and GOGAT
c) The stimulation of GS and GOGAT, they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate, compounds that are rich in carbon and participate in the synthesis of new plant materials
d) In energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT
Which of the following statements about GS and GOGAT is correct?
