Solution

The correct option is A The chloroplasts are generally smaller than mitochondria
Generally, the size of the chloroplast (5 to 10 $μ$ m long) is bigger than that of the mitochondria (0.75-3 $μ$ m ). Both chloroplast and mitochondria are double membraned organelles that contain their own DNA and ribosomes. Due to the presence of DNA and ribosomes, they are able to synthesize most of the enzymes required by it.
