Immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis continues for some time and then stops. If then, light is made available, the synthesis starts again. A logical conclusion of these observations will include:

I: Biosynthetic phase does not directly depend on the presence of light.
II: Biosynthetic phase depends on the products of light reactions.
III: Biosynthesis phase occurs only in the dark or in the absence of light.

1. Only I and II 2. Only III
3. Only II 4. I, II and III
