Solution

The correct option is D Chromatophore
Chromatophores are also found in membranes of phototrophic bacteria which contain photosynthetic pigments. Phycocyanins and phycobilins are the pigments present in photosynthetic bacteria such as blue-green algae. These pigments are arranged on lamellar structures in concentric rings or plates. They are accessory pigments and do not participate in photosynthesis. Thus the correct answer is option D.
