C. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
Step-by-step solution
The water splitting complex is physically associated with Photosystem II (PS II) on the inner side of the thylakoid membrane (A-II). The Calvin cycle is the universal biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of sugars in all plants, whether they are C ₃ or C ₄ (B-IV). Kranz anatomy is a characteristic feature of the leaves of C ₄ plants, where bundle sheath cells form several layers around the vascular bundles (C-I). ATP synthesis in chloroplasts is explained by the chemiosmotic hypothesis, which requires a membrane,
