In light reaction, plastoquinone facilitates the transfer of electrons from:
A $Cytb_6f$ complex to PS-I
B PS-I to $NADP^+$
C PS-I to ATP synthase
D PS-II to $Cytb_6f$ complex

Detailed Solution

After excitation, electrons pass from PS II ($P_{680}$) to the primary electron acceptor (pheophytin) and then to plastoquinone. Plastoquinone (PQ) in turn transfers electrons to the cytochrome $b_6f$ complex. So plastoquinone facilitates electron transfer from PS II to the Cyt $b_6f$ complex.
