Solution
The correct option is C Quantasome or thylakoids (Grana) In the chloroplast, the primary photochemical reactions occur. During photosynthesis, primary reactions like the light-capturing and ATP-generating reactions occur on grana. Grana are stakes of thylakoids. Quantasomes are particles found in grana. During photosynthesis, the light-dependent reactions take place on the thylakoid membranes. The inside of the thylakoid membrane is called the lumen. Light-independent reactions take place in the stroma.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Quantasome or thylakoids (Grana).'
