Solution

The correct option is B Both statement 1 and 2 are correct
Photolysishappens in the thylakoids, producing H+ ions inside the thylakoid membrane., a gradient of hydrogen ions will form across the membrane, ATP synthase take the advantage of this gradient, by allowing hydrogen ions to leak out of the membrane capturing their energy and phosphorylating ADP into ATP, while another statement is correct for mitochondria.
So, the correct option is 'Both statement 1 and 2 are correct'.
