b. chloroplast
c. flagellum
d. nucleus
q25.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Plants have chloroplasts which are used for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are not found in animals (except in some protists like the one shown). Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells (for energy production). Flagellum is a structure for movement and is not unique to plants. Nucleus is a common cell - structure in many eukaryotic cells (including plants, animals, and protists).

Answer:

B. Chloroplast
