A. Small vesicles associated with plasma membrane

Explanation: Bacteria that are photoautotrophic perform photosynthesis using small vesicles associated with the plasma membrane, which contain the photosynthetic pigments and enzymes necessary for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy. Bacteria do not have chloroplasts like plants do, but they have adapted their plasma membranes to carry out photosynthesis in a similar manner. Therefore, option A is correct.
