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 $b_{6}$ f 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.
