Solution

The correct option is D Quinone
A quinone is a class of organic compounds, that are formally derived from aromatic compounds by conversion of an even number of -CH= groups into -C(=O)- groups with any necessary rearrangement of double bonds resulting in a fully conjugated cyclic structure. It is the first acceptor molecule from photosystem II.
