Solution

The correct option is A True
The plastids are the organelles which have the colored pigments. Green colored plastids are called chloroplasts and contain the green pigment called chlorophyll. They provide green color to the leaves. Other colored plastids contain anthocyanins (red, purple or blue color) and xanthophylls (yellow or orange color). Colorless plastids containing starch are called leucoplasts.
