Solution

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