Answer 1

The correct option is A Chloroplast helps in photosynthesis whereas leucoplast helps in storage of starch, lipids and proteins.

Leucoplast is a type of plastids seen in the plant cells which help in storage of the food like starch, lipids, and protein whereas chloroplast is plastids containing chlorophyll in them which help in photosynthesis.
