Solution

The correct option is C

They help in giving shape to the cell


Plastids are only found in plants. They are double-membraned organelles. A chloroplast is a plastid which gives leaves their characteristic green colour. This happens because they contain the green-coloured pigment called chlorophyll.

The shape of a plant cell is primarly defined by the cell wall and not by plastids.
