Solution

The correct option is B Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are specialized subunits in plant and algal cells. Their main role is to conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight, and stores it in the energy storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water. They then use the ATP and NADPH to make organic molecules from carbon dioxide in a process known as Calvin cycle.
So, the correct answer is option B.
