Solution

The correct option is B Quantasome
Quantasomes are particles found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. in which photosynthesis takes place. The quantasome as seen in a two-dimensional crystalline array is 185 A0 long, 155 A0 wide, and 100 A0 thick. The surface of the quantasome appears to contain four or more subunits. The chlorophyll content is of 230 chlorophyll molecules per quantasome. Photon and quantum are the light energy parameters. Thus option B is correct and other options are incorrect.
