Answer:

D. pigments; starch.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles.

A chromoplast can be defined as a heterogeneous organelle or plastids that is typically responsible for pigment synthesis and their storage in a plant. The pigments include red, orange, yellow or chlorophyll.

On the other hand, leucoplast is a colorless plastid i.e plastic lacking photosynthetic pigments that are typically found in storage organs, underground stems, cotelydons, roots, tubers, seeds, or endosperm etc., used for the storage of starch in the absence of sunlight.

Hence, a chromoplast stores pigments while a leucoplast stores starch.
