Solution

The correct option is A Plastid and mitochondria
Both mitochondria and plastids contain DNA as well as ribosomes and are able to synthesise some of its own proteins. But, since they depend on the nuclear gene for biogenesis and on ground cytoplasm for biosynthetic activities, they cannot exist independently. Hence, they are called as semiautonomous organelles.
