Solution
The correct option is
A
Discoid
The chloroplast is a discoid plastid which contains chlorophyll (green pigment) within the thylakoid membranes of the organelle.
This organelle is present in the green parts of plants where photosynthesis takes place.
It is the main site of synthesis of glucose by the process called photosynthesis.
The chlorophyll pigment captures the sunlight and converts it into chemical energy and thus, helps in the process of photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is 'Discoid'.
