Solution

The correct option is A inclusion bodies
Phosphate granules, cyanophycean granules, and glycogen granules are examples of inclusion bodies. Reserve material is stored in the form of inclusion bodies in prokaryotic cells. These are non-membrane bound structures and lie freely in the cytoplasm.

Chromatophores are membranous extensions (structures formed by extension of plasma membrane) in cyanobacterial cells that contain pigments.

Mesosomes are formed due to infoldings of the plasma membrane and they contain enzymes that help in cellular respiration. These are found in bacterial cells.
