Solution

The correct option is B Quantasome
Quantasomes are particles found in a paracrystalline array of the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place. They were first identified by Roderic B. Park in 1962. They are believed to be the structural and functional units of the chloroplast.
