Solution

The correct option is A Starch formation
Pyrenoids in green algal cells are related to the starch formation. They are sub-cellular micro-compartments found in chloroplasts of many algae. They are associated with the operation of a carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM). This is a region of the chloroplast in which most of the RuBisCO in the chloroplast is located, which is a carbon-fixing enzyme.
So, the correct answer is option D.
