Solution

The correct option is B Stroma
Sugar is synthesized in the stroma of the chloroplast which is later converted to starch.
Grana, stroma, stromal lamella and inner membranes are some of the other components of the chloroplast. Light dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in grana. Stromal lamella is used to connect the grana thylakoids. It ensures that the grana thylakoids are at a safe distance from each other. One of the major functions of stromal lamella is that it acts as the skeleton of the chloroplast and ensures that chloroplast has maximum efficiency. The membrane system plays a prominent role in trapping the sunlight necessary for photosynthesis.
