Solution
The correct option is A Stromal matrix. The light independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside the thylakoid membrane. So, the correct answer is option A.
