A
Organelle
B
Cell
C
Chlorophyll
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis occurs in the organelles called chloroplasts present in the photosynthetic cells or mesophyll cells of green plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts-They are green coloured plastids, which comprise green-coloured pigments within the plant cell and are called chlorophyll.
