The process of photosynthesis takes place in the:
A
Leaves of the Plant.
B
Stem of the plant.
C
Roots of the plant.
D
All of the above.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts that sit in the mesophyll of the leaves. The thylakoids sit inside the chloroplast and they contain chlorophyll which absorbs the different colours of the light spectrum to create energy (Source: Biology: LibreTexts).

Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain disc-shaped structures called thylakoids, which contain the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs certain portions of the visible spectrum and captures energy from sunlight.

Detailed explanation-3: -The broad surface area of leaves allows for enhanced absorption of sunlight. Moreover, numerous pores, called stomata, allow easy gaseous exchange. Therefore, leaves act as the primary location for photosynthesis.
