Solution

The correct option is C Transferred to chlorophylls.
Inside the photosystems, the chlorophyll A molecule formed a reaction centre and surrounding are the carotenoids which are the molecule that absorbs electron produced from light energy and transfer it to chlorophyll A molecule and thus they form the Z scheme for photosynthesis.
So, the correct option is 'transferred to chlorophylls'
