Solution

The correct option is C Chloroplast and mitochondria
Organelle inheritance is also called as cytoplasmic inheritance or extra-chromosomal or extra-nuclear inheritance. It is the consequence of the presence of genes in mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA. Extra-chromosomal units function either independently or in collaboration with the nuclear genetic system. Whereas lysosomes, ribosomes, and ER do not carry self-replicating DNA. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
