The most accurate statement regarding the first stage of photosynthesis is:

Radiant energy is converted into chemical energy, and this is a light-dependent stage.

In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, radiant energy from sunlight is used to convert water and sunlight into energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADPH. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and require light.
