What is the correct sequence for the following components in photosynthesis as described by the Z scheme? A) NADPH → P700 → P700^*→ cytochrome bf complex → P680 → P680^*→ water B) Water → P700 → P700^*→ cytochrome bf complex → P680^*→ P680 → NADPH C) Water → P680 → P680^*→ cytochrome bf complex → P700 → P700^*→ NADPH D) Water → P700 → P700^*→ cytochrome bf complex → P680 → P680^*→ NADPH E) NADPH → P680 → P680^*→ cytochrome bf complex → P700 → P700^*→ water

The Z scheme of photosynthesis starts with water splitting at Photosystem II (P680), which becomes excited (P680*), then electrons are transferred through the cytochrome bf complex to Photosystem I (P700), which also becomes excited (P700*), and finally, electrons are used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH.
