Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Chromoplasts produce different coloured pigments other than green. They are responsible for the characteristic colour of flower and fruit. They are involved in attracting insects, various vectors for pollination and for fruit dispersal. The red colour of tomato and chilli is conferred by chromoplasts. Chromoplasts are formed from chloroplast during ripening or development of these fruits.
