Solution

The correct option is E Chloroplast
The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.
