Solution

The correct option is B Grana
  • The chloroplast is a plastid which contains chlorophyll (green pigment) within the thylakoid membranes of the organelle.
  • Thylakoid can be defined as a membrane-bound compartment within the chloroplasts of a plant cell.
  • It is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
  • Thylakoid consists of a thylakoid membrane which encloses the thylakoid lumen.
  • A stack of thylakoid discs or lamella is known as grana.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Grana'.
