B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All electron-transport processes occur in the thylakoid membrane: to make ATP, H+ is pumped into the thylakoid space, and a backflow of H+ through an ATP synthase then produces the ATP in the chloroplast stroma.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) consists of five protein complexes integrated into the inner mitochondrial membrane.
