Answer is C ) chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts are oval shaped, double membraned cell organelles present in green plant cells and in algae. Chloroplasts contains a green color pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has ability to capture solar energy and store this energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). with the help of this energy and water, green plants reduced carbon dioxide into sugar (a chemical compound) as food.
