• B. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true
• C. Both the statements are true

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true

As previously mentioned, plastids are doubled membraned 'sac-like' organelles, generally involved in either the manufacture or storage of food. They include chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts. Leucoplasts are colorless plastids. Xanthophylls are yellow pigments that impart a yellow colour to the plant.
