Solution

The correct option is A Thylakoids
A thylakoid is a membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis as they contain chlorophylls which is the primary pigment that converts the captured solar energy into chemical energy. It absorbs wavelengths of visible light and reflects the green light, which provides colour to the leaves of photosynthetic plants. So, the correct answer is option C.
