Solution

The correct option is B Thylakoids of granum
Light reaction uses light energy to make the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. These two molecules are required in the Calvin cycle. It takes place in the thylakoid membranes of grana in chloroplasts with the help of photosystems. Thus the correct answer is option B.
