The correct option is B Chloroplast
Plastids are small bodies found free in the cytoplasm of most plant cells. They are absent in bacteria and fungi. There are two main groups of plastids leucoplast and chromoplast. The chromoplasts contain pigment while the leucoplasts are colourless plastids and stores starch. The green chromoplast which consists chlorophyll called as chloroplast and involved in the photosynthesis and stores produced food in the form of starch. The nongreen chromoplast gives colour other than green to the flowers and fruits.
