Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Sugarcane plant shows chloroplast dimorphism.
The occurrence of two different types of chloroplasts in the leaves of C4 plants is referred to as chloroplast dimorphism. It is a characteristic feature of C4 plants like sugarcane.
The vascular bundle sheath cells of sugar cane contain starch-storing chloroplasts lacking grana, whereas the adjacent mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts that store very little starch and possess abundant grana.
