Solution

The correct option is A Chloroplast
Parenchyma cells are important storage cells. Chloroplast is abundant in green colored plant parts like leaf mesophyll, where they carry on photosynthesis. Parenchyma cells are non-green cells and lack chloroplasts. They however show other structures of a typical plant cell like cell wall, vacuole, nucleus, etc.
So, the correct answer is option B.
