Quantosomes are present in.
A
Thylakoid membrane
B
Palisade tissue of mesophy ll
C
Spongy tissue of mesophy II
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Quantasomes are particles found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place. They are embedded in a paracrystalline array on the surface of thylakoid discs in chloroplasts. They are composed of lipids and proteins that include various photosynthetic pigments and redox carriers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts contain around 250-400 particles known as quantasomes. They are present on the surface of thylakoid discs in chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -In thylakoid membranes, glycerolipids form a bilayer matrix, in which photosynthetic protein–cofactor complexes such as photosystem I (PSI), photosystem II (PSII), cytochrome (Cyt) b6/f complex and ATP synthase are embedded.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Grana/chloroplast’.
