Solution

The correct option is A Cytochrome
Cytochromes are membrane-bound hemeproteins containing heme groups and are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport. The cytochrome b6f complex is an enzyme found in the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts of plants, cyanobacteria, and green algae, catalyzing the transfer of electrons from plastoquinone to plastocyanin.
