Solution
The correct option is D Plastids
Plasmalemma/cell membrane is the biological membrane that separate the cell’s interior from surrounding and from other cells. It serves as selective permeable membrane and maintains cell’s identity and integrity and therefore is indispensible part of any type of cell. Mitochondria are double membrane bound eukaryotic cell organelles that serve as site for cellular respiration, produce enormous amount of energy to metabolic process and cell division. Microtubules of cytoskeleton are the structural units of spindle fibres that become attached to chromosomes via kinetochores, present on the surface of chromosomal centromere, and move the chromosomes apart during cell division. Plastids are double membrane bound organelles which are found in plant cells and other autotrophic organisms only and serve mainly in photosynthesis. They don’t contribute in cell division.
