Solution
The correct option is C Oxygen evolving complex It is believed that PSII contains a manganese protein (Y) which possibly catalyses the early stages of O2 evolution. Four hundred molecules of chlorophyll contain 5-8 atoms of manganese, and about 4 atoms of Mn are required for full O2 evolution.
So, the correct option is 'Oxygen-evolving complex'.
