Solution

The correct option is B ATP
ATP synthesis by the chloroplast requires the development of a proton gradient across the membranes of the thylakoid. Proton gradient is generated by the cytochrome-b6-f complex. This gradient is utilised by the ATP synthase or the Fo/F1 complex to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.
