Solution

The correct option is B Chloroplasts
Rubisco is the most abundant plant enzyme. It is present in chloroplasts. It is involved in the major and initial step of carbon fixation of photosynthesis. It is used in the dark reaction of photosynthesis. It is a primary enzyme for the Calvin cycle which helps ribulose 1,5 biphosphate to accept carbon dioxide and form phosphoglycerate.
So, the correct answer is option B.
