Chloroplasts in plant cells are where this process takes place.
A
cellular respiration
B
photosynthesis
C
protein production
D
glycolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue-and red-light waves, and reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast is capable of capturing light energy from the sun with the help of chlorophyll pigments present in it. And then it converts this light energy into chemical energy for the production of food material.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts are found in all green plants and algae. They are the food producers of plants. These are found in mesophyll cells located in the leaves of the plants. They contain a high concentration of chlorophyll that traps sunlight.
