During photosynthesis, ATP is generated when protons flow

  • A

    Out of the chloroplast across the outer envelope membrane

  • B

    Through photosystem II reaction-center channels into the lumen

  • C

    From the thylakoid lumen into the stroma through ATP synthase

  • D

    From the stroma into the thylakoid lumen through ATP synthase

Explanation

Light reactions pump H⁺ into the lumen, building a gradient. ATP synthase lets H⁺ flow back to the stroma, driving ATP production.
