(N/A) Plants cannot perform photosynthesis in moonlight because moonlight does not have sufficient intensity or energy to stimulate chlorophyll molecules.
Photosynthesis requires light of a specific intensity to initiate the light-dependent reactions.
Since moonlight is reflected sunlight with very low intensity,it fails to trigger the electron transport chain in $PS-I$ and $PS-II$.
Therefore,photosynthesis does not occur under moonlight conditions.
