Solution

The correct option is C Elaioplast
Leucoplasts are of 3 types- amyloplasts, aleuroplasts and elaioplasts. Amyloplasts store starch. Aleuroplasts store proteins. Elaioplasts store fats and oils. Chloroplasts are not a type of leucoplast. They are a different type of plastid which impart green colour to plants.
