Stroma in the chloroplasts of higher plants contains:

  1. A
    Light-dependent reaction enzymes
  2. B
    Ribosomes
  3. C
    Chlorophyll
  4. D
    Light-independent reaction enzymes

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Getty ImagesThe stroma is the fluid-filled matrix of the chloroplast where the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle/Dark Reaction) occur. It contains the necessary enzymes (like RuBisCO), circular DNA, and 70S ribosomes. Chlorophyll is found in the thylakoid membranes (grana).
