Solution

The correct option is D chromatophores
Cyanobacteria or blue-green algae are autotrophic organisms, which belong to the class cyanophyceae of the kingdom monera. All cyanobacteria are prokaryotes and hence lack membrane-bound organelles. They possess chromatophores instead of chloroplasts as the site of photosynthesis.
