Solution

The correct option is B Chloroplast
Photorespiration is the light-dependent process of oxygenation of ribulose biphosphate and release of carbon dioxide by the photosynthetic organs of a plant. It occurs in Chloroplast but mitochondria and peroxisome are required for completing the process.
So, the correct option is 'Chloroplast'.
