The correct option is D

10 to 100


A thylakoid refers to the membrane-bound internal compartment within the chloroplasts of a plant cell and cyanobacteria.

It is a site for light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. It is made up of a thylakoid membrane which surrounds the thylakoid lumen.

A stack of thylakoid disk is organized to form grana.There are about 10 to 100 thylakoids within a granum and about 40- 60 grana in a plant cell. So, the correct answer is '10-100'.
