• D. a - ii, b- iv, c - iii, d - i

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a - iii, b - ii, c - iv, d - i

Amyloplasts are organelles found in plant cells which store starch and are found in vegetables like potato tuber.

Elaioplasts store lipids and oil bodies in plants like castor.

Aleuroplasts are also called proteinoplasts and they have crystalline protein structures and they can be sites of enzyme activity. These are found in maize.

Chromoplasts are responsible for synthesis of pigments in plants mostly orange or yellow pigments. Colour red of red-chili is because of these pigments.

Thus, the correct answer is 'a - iii, b - ii, c - iv, d - i.'
