Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

i think its D because chloroplasts can reproduce so option A is not valid they are the same size as prokaryotic cells and they donot rely on proteins that are made by the cell..but most of all they have there own DNA.

I hope this helps!!

Answer is Chloroplasts have their own DNA.

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are the two cell organelles which have their own DNA. This DNA is separate from the DNA which is found in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA of both chloroplast and mitochondria can replicates and both can undergoes division. The DNA of both organelles produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function.
sorry if its wrong!
