A.
Stroma
B.
Grana
Answer
C.
Enter chloroplast
D.
Outer chloroplast envelope

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Photosystem-II takes place in Grana.
Photosystem II is the first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. It is located in the thylakoid membrane (Grana) of plants, algae and cyanobacteria.
Within the photosystem, enzymes capture photons of light to energize electrons that are then transferred through a variety of coenzymes and cofactors to reduce plastoquinone to plastoquinol. The energized electrons are replaced by oxidizing water to form hydrogen ions and molecular oxygen.
