The correct option is D All of the above
  • Plastids are a pigment containing double membrane-bound organelle which is the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds.
  • Plastids are descended from a bacterial cell and thus, it possesses its own DNA, RNA and ribosomes (similar to abacterial cell).
  • Each granum within a chloroplast consists of a disc-shaped membranous sac called lamellae or thylakoids.
  • The grana are intercon­nected by a network of tubules called stroma lamellae.
