Option 1 : Plastids

Explanation:

Plastids are double-membrane organelles that are found in the cells of plants and algae.
Chloroplast is a type of plastid where food is prepared.
They contain pigments like chlorophyll that are used during photosynthesis.
They can also store food that is made by photosynthesis.

Mistake Points

Plastids are mainly of 3 types:
- Chloroplast - coloured plastid that helps in photosynthesis; responsible for green colour of leaves.
- Chromoplast - coloured plastid that helps in pigment synthesis and storage, responsible for colour of flowers and fruits.
- Leucoplast - non-pigmented plastid that is used for storage.

Photosynthesis is the process by which cells utilize solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose which is used as fuel by the cells.
The pigment chlorophyll is responsible for initiating the process of photosynthesis as it captures the light energy from the sun.
Mitochondria - is called the powerhouse of the cell as it releases energy from food.
Golgi apparatus - works like a factory for the modification, packaging and transport of proteins to target destinations.
