Solution

The correct option is B Chlorophylls are found in the fluid stroma of the chloroplast
Chlorophylls are found in the thylakoid sacs of the chloroplast, not on the fluid stroma of the chloroplast. Chlorophylls are the green pigments which are found in plants, green algae and cyanobacteria.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Chlorophylls are found in the fluid stroma of the chloroplast'.
