  • A

    An H+ concentration (chemical) gradient and an electrical (charge) gradient

  • B

    Light intensity and CO2 concentration

  • C

    ATP and ADP concentration gradients

  • D

    Heat and pressure differences

Explanation

The PMF combines a pH gradient (chemical) and a membrane potential (electrical), both of which store energy that drives ATP synthesis.
