The statement that is true about chloroplasts is option B. They convert light energy into chemical energy. Light energy from the sun is being absorbed by the chloroplasts, along with carbon dioxide and water, and turns them into sugars to be used as energy by the plants. This process is called Photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are not present in the animal cells.
