Solution

The correct option is D In the walls of the thylakoid of a chloroplast
The green pigment, i.e., chlorophyll is located within the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll converts light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight, and this energy is later used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
