Solution

The correct options are
C Leucoplasts
D Elaioplasts
Chromoplasts have carotenoid pigments which are responsible for different colours in leaves and fruits.
Chloroplasts are the sites for photosynthesis by which process food is made.
Elaioplasts help in storing fats and oils that are needed by the plant. Elaioplast is a type of Leucoplast. So it is non pigmented plastid.
Leucoplasts are non pigmented organelles which are colourless.
So the answer is Elaioplasts and Leucoplasts
