Yasmine is asked to describe the structural organization of chloroplasts. She writes the following sentence:

"A chloroplast contains thylakoid stacks, called stroma, that are surrounded by fluid-filled grana."

Which change to the sentence is necessary to make the sentence accurate?

• Replace "grana" with "chlorophyll."

• Replace "stroma" with "chlorophyll."

• Exchange the positions of "stroma" and "grana."

• Exchange the positions of "thylakoid" and "stroma."
