The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Plastids**: Plastids are specialized organelles found in plant cells and some protists. They are involved in the storage and synthesis of various substances. 2. **Identifying Types of Plastids**: There are several types of plastids, including: - **Leucoplasts**: These are colorless plastids primarily involved in the storage of substances. - **Chromoplasts**: These plastids contain pigments and are responsible for the coloration of fruits and flowers. - **Amyloplasts**: A type of leucoplast that stores starch. - **Alluroblasts**: A type of leucoplast that specifically stores proteins. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Alluroblast**: This is a type of leucoplast that stores proteins. Therefore, it is a candidate for the answer. - **Glioblast**: This term is not commonly recognized in the context of plastids and does not refer to a known type of plastid. - **Amyloplast**: This type of leucoplast is involved in the storage of starch, not proteins. - **Chromoblast**: These plastids store colored pigments, such as carotenoids and xanthophylls, and do not store proteins. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the plastid that stores proteins is the **Alluroblast**. **Final Answer**: The plastids which store proteins are **Alluroblasts**. ---
