Solution

The correct option is D Within its thylakoid membranes
Thylakoids membranes contain photosynthetic pigments and coupling factors. Photosynthetic pigments include chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenes and xanthophylls. The pigments occur in groups termed as photosystems. The coupling factors are involved in ATP synthesis. They capture solar light for the process of photosynthesis.
