The water-splitting complex in green plants is associated with:
1. PS I, which itself is physically located on the inner side of the membrane of the thylakoid.
2. PS I, which itself is physically located on the outer side of the membrane of the thylakoid.
3. PS II, which itself is physically located on the inner side of the membrane of the thylakoid.
4. PS II, which itself is physically located on the outer side of the membrane of the thylakoid.

Regarding ATP synthase involved in chemiosmosis in chloroplasts:
I: The component CF0 is embedded in the thylakoid membrane.
II: The component CF1 protrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma.
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Consider the two given statements:
Assertion (A): The cyclic flow hence, results only in the synthesis of ATP, but not of NADPH + H+.
Reason (R): The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain.
