Answer: Stroma

Step-by-step explanation:

The stroma of chloroplast is the main site for the light independent reaction of photosynthesis.

Once, the mesophyll cells, carbon dioxide diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast, then light independent reaction starts.

It is a fluid filled space which is basically surrounded by the grana and is involved in the synthesis of the carbohydrates from the materials like carbon dioxide and water.
