Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondria and chloroplast
Mitochondria and chloroplast have their own 70s ribosomes, their own circular DNA and their own set of RNAs so it can replicate on their own. They can also produce their own protiens. It is belived they were free living a long time ago. All these are the reasons that they are considered as semi autonomous organelles.
