The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photosystems**: Photosystems are large complexes of proteins and pigments that play a crucial role in the light reactions of photosynthesis. There are two main types: Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII). 2. **Identifying the Characteristics of PSI and PSII**: - **Photosystem I (PSI)**: - Maximum absorbance at 700 nm. - Reaction center known as P700. - **Photosystem II (PSII)**: - Maximum absorbance at 680 nm. - Reaction center known as P680. 3. **Sequence of Discovery**: - PSI was discovered first, which is why it is referred to as PS I. - PSII was discovered later, hence the name PS II. 4. **Analyzing the Options Given**: - **Sequence of Discovery**: This option is correct because it reflects the order in which PSI and PSII were discovered. - **Function in Light Reaction**: This is incorrect as PSII functions first in the light reaction, followed by PSI. - **Sequence of Arrangement of Chlorophylls**: This is also incorrect as it does not pertain to the naming of the photosystems. - **More than One Option is Correct**: This is incorrect since only one option (sequence of discovery) is valid. 5. **Conclusion**: The pigments organized into the two discrete photochemical light harvesting complexes within PSI and PSII are named in the sequence of their discovery. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is the sequence of discovery. ---
