Solution
The correct option is D Thylakoids
Even as photosynthesis occurs in many organisms including plant leaves, stems of green plants, bacteria and algae, the leaf of the plant is mainly responsible for photosynthesis in plants as this poses a thick layer of cells called the mesophyll which is rich in chloroplasts. The three stages of photosynthesis are capturing energy from sunlight, using the energy to make ATP and formation of a compound called NADPH, and third is carbon fixation or using the ATP and NADPH to synthesize organic molecules from CO2. The first two stages are known as the energy capturing light reaction. In the chloroplasts, the internal membranes are organized into sacs called as thylakoids which houses the photosynthetic pigments for capturing light energy.Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
