Solution

The correct option is D Closed membrane system
A. Proton gradient is required because the breakdown of this gradient leads to release of energy.
B. Splitting of water is required which takes place on the inner side of the membrane and the protons that are produced, they accumulate within the lumen of the thyllakoids.
C. ATP synthase enzyme is required that allows diffusion of protons back across the membrane, this releases energy to activate ATPase enzyme which catalyses the formation of ATP.
D. Closed membrane system is not required. Only a membrane is required for the development of a proton gradient across the membrane of the thyllakoid and the proton accumulation is towards the inside of the membrane.
So, the correct answer is 'Closed membrane system'.
