Solution

The correct option is B chloroplast
The process by which plants prepare their food in presence of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide is called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the cell organelles which help the plant to perform photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a green coloured pigment present inside chloroplasts which give green colour to the plant. It is also required in photosynthesis.
