The correct option is A Arabidopsis
Plants roots usually do not have chlorophyll but some epiphytic plants grow green and accumulate chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Arabidopsis is the angiospermic dicot plant which develops the chloroplast in roots when detached from the shoot and accumulates chlorophyll.
