Solution

The correct option is D Stacked discs
Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis. They are found in photosynthetic cells like plants and are not found in animals. Chloroplast thylakoids form stacks of discs which are referred to as grana. Each granum consists of 10-20 thylakoids. The main function of the chloroplast is to convert light energy into biological energy.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Stacked discs'.
