2. Proteins, lipids, and a combination of photosynthetic pigments and redox mediators make up quantasomes.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. Lysosomes are found in all types of eukaryotic cells and are responsible for digestion.
2. Lysosomes are not related to quantasomes and mitochondria.

Option B:

Quantasomes are not present in the isolated areas on chloroplast lamellae where photosynthetic units exist.

Final Answer: Quantasomes are present in none of the above mentioned options.
