Solution

The correct option is B thylakoid lumen
Energy released during movement of electrons through the photosystems in photosynthesis is used to drive protons across the membrane against concentration gradient. As a result the protons accumulate in thylakoid lumen. The thylakoid lumen plays an important role for photophosphorylation during photosynthesis.
Thus, the correct answer is 'thylakoid lumen.'
