Solution

The correct option is A Plastids are inherited through maternal plants.
Maternal characters are the characters related to mother. If albino female plant is the mother plant during crossing, the progenies which are albinic in nature shows clearly that plastids are inherited through maternal plants. Plastids are the organelles in cells which contain pigments and are thus related to albinism.
