Solution

The correct option is A Pyrenoid
Protonema is a tiny green thread, which looks like a simple strand of green algae, but does not have pyrenoids (present in chloroplast generally). Pyrenoids are sub-cellular micro-compartments found in chloroplasts. Each chloroplast has several pyrenoids placed at regular intervals in Spirogyra. These are centre of starch formation.
