The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Plastids are small bodies found free in most plant cells. These are found absent in fungi, certain bacteria, algae and multicellular animals. The plastids can be categorized in: Chromoplasts: Coloured (other than green) plastids. Chloroplasts: Green coloured plastids Leucoplasts: Colorless plastids. All these three are double membrane bound structures, which are mainly used for trapping radiation and storage purposes. New plastids arise from proplastids by a fission like process.

Eurkaryotic Cells - Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex or the Golgi body. The term is derived from Camillo Golgi, the scientist who discovered the organelle. It can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cell's cytoplasm

Formation of acrosome: The acrosome is a component of the tip of animal sperms that aids in the digestion of the egg or ovum covering sheath during fertilisation. The Golgi complex produces it with the help of its vesicles.
