The correct option is D Elaioplast
Plastids which store fats and oils are called as elaioplast. Elaioplasts are a type of leucoplast that is specialized for the storage of lipids in plants. Elaioplasts house oil body deposits as rounded plastoglobuli, which are essentially fat droplets. Being a variety of leucoplast, elaioplasts are non-pigmented and fall into the much broader organelle category of plant plastids.
