Solution

The correct option is B False
Plant cell organelle, chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll, which is naturally green coloured.
Chlorophyll absorbs all colours of VIBGYOR, except green. Due to this, when the light comes to the surface of the leaves it reflects the green colour and the leaves appear to be green.
