Answer:

C) Chloroplast; thylakoid membrane

Explanation:

The question is a biological science question

The light-dependent reactions also known as the light reactions take place at the location site of the chlorophyll of the plant cell, within the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, and involves the energizing of the electrons within the pigment molecules, the electrons are then transferred through a transport chain within the thylakoid membrane

The dark reactions take place inside the stroma

Therefore, the correct option is chloroplast; thylakoid membrane
