(D) Plastids are found in all plant cells and in euglenoids. Based on the type of pigments,plastids can be classified into three types:$1$. Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments which are responsible for trapping light energy essential for photosynthesis.$2$. Chromoplasts: Contain fat-soluble carotenoid pigments like carotene,xanthophylls,and others. This gives the part of the plant a yellow,orange,or red color.$3$. Leucoplasts: These are colorless plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients. They include amyloplasts (store carbohydrates),elaioplasts (store oils and fats),and aleuroplasts (store proteins).Therefore,all the given options are correct types of plastids.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(i)$ Elaioplast	$(a)$ Storage of starch
$(ii)$ Aleuroplast	$(b)$ Storage of fat
$(iii)$ Amyloplast	$(c)$ Storage of protein
$(iv)$ Chromoplast	$(d)$ Colored pigments
