Solution

The correct option is A Leucoplast
  • Plastids are a pigment containing double membrane-bound organelle which is the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds.
  • Plastids are of three types on the basis of the pigments present within them:-
  • 1. chloroplast (green plastid), 2. The chromoplast (coloured plastid) and 3. Leucoplast (colourless plastid).
  • Leucoplasts can differentiate into specialized plastids and are of the following
  1. Amyloplasts stores starch and helps to detect gravity,
  2. Elaioplasts stores fat.
  3. Proteinoplast stores and modifies proteins.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Leucoplast'.
