Solution

The correct option is B
Chromoplast

This image is of colourful leaves. So, the type of plastid present in the leaves is chromoplast. Chromoplasts impart various colours to the plant parts. The green colour is imparted by another type of plastid called chloroplast. Leaves contain chloroplasts also, but in the image given, the green colour is masked by the chromoplasts.
