Solution
The correct option is B Leucoplast
Three types of plastids are found in plant cells, namely, chloroplast, chromoplast, and leucoplast. Leucoplasts are the colourless plastids that store food in the form of starch, proteins, fats, and oil. In potatoes, leucoplasts store food in the form of starch. Chloroplasts and chromoplasts give colour to the plant parts.
