Solution
The correct option is B Chemi-osmotic theory of Mitchell
A theory postulated by the biochemist Peter Mitchell in 1961 to describe ATP synthesis by way of a proton electrochemical coupling.
it is based on the proton gradient and transfer of an electron from the mitochondrial matrix in respiration or in the stroma with the photophosphorylation of photosystems forms ATP.
So the correct option is 'Chemi-osmotic theory of Mitchell'.
