Solution

The correct option is A Plastids with starch
Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles found in some plant cells. They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose. Thus, option A is correct.
Elaioplasts are a type of leucoplast that is specialized for the storage of lipids in plants.
Aleuroplast is a semi autonomous organelle (plastid) within a plant cell that stores protein.
Chloroplasts are organelles, 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.
