The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Protons produced by photolysis accumulate in the lumen of thylakoids." This is true. During the process of photolysis, which is the splitting of water molecules using light energy, protons (H⁺ ions) are released. These protons accumulate in the lumen of the thylakoids. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is "Photolysis occurs in the inner membrane of thylakoids." This statement is misleading. Photolysis occurs in the thylakoid lumen, not specifically in the inner membrane. The inner membrane is involved in the overall structure of the thylakoids, but the actual photolysis process takes place in the lumen. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: While both the assertion and the reason are true statements, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. The assertion is correct in stating that protons accumulate in the lumen, but the reason incorrectly identifies the location of photolysis. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. **Final Answer**: Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
