Vedclass · Answer

(C) The mesophyll tissue of a leaf is the primary site of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the specific type of plastids that contain chlorophyll pigments,which are essential for capturing light energy to perform photosynthesis. Amyloplasts store starch,chromoplasts contain carotenoid pigments (giving red,yellow,or orange colors),and elaioplasts store oils and fats. Therefore,chloroplasts are the correct plastids found in the mesophyll cells.
