• C. Chromoplastids
• D. Apicoplastids

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Leucoplastids

• Leucoplastids are colorless plastids primarily involved in the storage of nutrients. Leucoplasts do not have any pigment and are thus colourless.

• These cell organelles are commonly seen in non-photosynthetic plant parts such as roots.

• Tailored to the needs of the plants, they serve to store carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
