In photosynthetic bacteria, the photosynthesis takes place in

AChloroplast
BChromoplast
CChromatophores
Correct Answer
DMesosomes

Solution

Chloroplast is green plastids and chromoplasts are non-green plastids of higher plants. Chloroplasts are primarily responsible for photosynthesis in higher plants, whereas, chromoplasts are responsible for no green colour in various plant parts like flowers and fruits.
Mesosomes are infoldings of the plasma membrane in bacteria. They are rich in a variety of enzymes and are important for biosynthetic activity and septa formation during cell division.
Chromatophores are the bacterial photosynthetic pseudo-organelles which form as extensions of the cytoplasmic membrane upon transition to phototrophic growth and house the photosynthetic proteins.
The shape of these chromatophores varies among species, the two most common forms being stacks of flat lamellar folds.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
