Solution

The correct option is A
Chloroplast

Chloroplasts are small green, bean-shaped organelles. They are plastids and have the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows the plants to absorb solar energy. This energy is converted into chemical energy which is used to make food. Chloroplasts, thus, are the sites of photosynthesis.
