A. Chromoplast

C. Chloroplast
D. Leucoplast
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Peroxisomes are single-membrane organelles involved in oxidative reactions, not plastids. Plastids (chloroplasts, chromoplasts, leucoplasts) are double-membrane organelles found in plants and algae, involved in photosynthesis, storage, and pigmentation. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, chromoplasts carotenoids, leucoplasts are colorless storage plastids.
