The answer to your question is C) LHII, a light harvesting complex. Photosynthetic bacteria have a single type of light-harvesting complex (LH) that captures photons and transfers the energy to the reaction center. In contrast, plant chloroplasts have two types of LH complexes: LHCII and LHCI. LHCII is responsible for capturing photons in the visible region of the spectrum, while LHCI captures photons in the far-red region
