Solution
The correct option is B chloroplasts Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts get energy from the sunlight with the molecule chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment or compound that is able to absorb the specific type of wavelength of energy from the Sun.
