The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Chloroplast Structure**: - Chloroplasts are green-colored plastids found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis. They have a double membrane structure consisting of an outer membrane and an inner membrane. 2. **Identifying the Components**: - The space enclosed by the inner membrane is called the stroma. Within the stroma, there are structures known as grana. 3. **Defining Grana**: - Grana are stacks of thylakoids. Each granum (singular of grana) is formed by the piling of these thylakoids. 4. **Understanding Thylakoids**: - Thylakoids are disc-shaped, membranous sac-like structures that contain photosynthetic pigments. They are essential for the light reactions of photosynthesis. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Grana in chloroplast is formed by the piling of" is **thylakoids**. ---
