Solution

The correct option is A Mitochondria and chloroplasts
  • Both mitochondria and chloroplasts are the two cellular organelles which are descended from the bacterial cell.
  • Therefore, they possess their own DNA and are called semi-autonomous cell organelles.
  • They can synthesize their own proteins.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria and chloroplasts'.
