Solution

The correct option is D Houses various pigments used in photosynthesis
The plastid is a major double-membrane organelle found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are the sites of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. They often contain pigments which are used in photosynthesis and the types of pigments present can change or determine the cell's colour.
