Solution

The correct option is A chloroplast
The plastids that contain chlorophyll and can carry out photosynthesis are known as chloroplasts. The main role of chloroplasts is to conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight and converts it and stores it in the form of energy-storage molecules.
