Solution

The correct option is B Plastids
Plastids are double membrane bound organelles found inside plants and some algae, which are primarily responsible for activities related to making and storing food. Many plastids are photosynthetic but some are not.
Therefore, to differentiate between a plant and an animal cell under a microscope, one must look for the presence of plastids.
