A
nucleus
B
mitochondria
C
chloroplasts
D
vacuoles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis consists of both light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. In plants, the so-called “light” reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments reside.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplast is capable of capturing light energy from the sun with the help of chlorophyll pigments present in it. And then it converts this light energy into chemical energy for the production of food material.
