Solution

The correct option is B Presence of green pigments
Mitochondria and plastids are double membraned semi-autonomous cell organelles that contain DNA. Mitochondria are respiratory organelles found in both plant and animal cells while chloroplasts are photosynthetic organelles found in plant cells only. Chloroplasts posses green photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll.
