C Correct answer
Explanation

These are found only in plant cells and in certain protists (e.g. Euglena). They are of two main types - chromoplasts and leucoplasts. The chromoplasts contain coloured pigment and occur in the cells exposed to sunlight. The leucoplasts are colourless and occur in the cells not exposed to light. The chromoplasts having light absorbing green pigment, the chlorophyll are called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are found in the leaves of green plants and are the most common and biologically important of all the plastids.
