Solution
The correct option is D Starch
Pyrenoids are the subcellular micro-compartments or simply the dense bodies present inside the chloroplasts of certain algae and other plants. Pyrenoids are associated with the storage of starch as layers of starch are found to be present around them.
They consist of a central granular core which is proteinaceous and this core is surrounded by starch plates or starch cells. Pyrenoids are also associated with the carbon concentrating mechanism.
