Solution

The correct option is A plant, animal

Chloroplasts are a type of membrane-bound plastids that contain a network of membranes embedded into a liquid matrix and harbour the photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll. It is this pigment that imparts a green colour to plant parts and serves to capture light energy for performing photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are absent in animals cells. Centrioles are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope. The main function of centriole is to help with cell division in animal cells.
