Options

  1. A(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
  2. B(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
  3. C(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
  4. D(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

Correct answer

B. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

Step-by-step solution

According to the chemiosmotic hypothesis in NCERT: 1. The water splitting complex is associated with PS II, which is physically located on the inner side of the membrane of the thylakoid. 2. The NADP reductase enzyme is located on the stroma side of the membrane. 3. The primary acceptor of electron is located towards the outer side of the membrane and transfers its electron to an H-carrier. 4. The CF₁ particle protrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma. Therefore, the
