In order to attract insects for pollination and animals for seed dissemination, chromoplasts are consequently the classic plastids of flowers and fruits. From chloroplasts, proplastids, or leucoplasts, chromoplasts can develop. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Explanation for the correct options :

Option  1 is incorrect because the green pigment called chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts, which are where photosynthesis takes place. Chlorophyll's job is to transform water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen by absorbing the sun's light energy.

Option 2 is incorrect because leucoplasts are crucial organelles for the production and storage of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.

Option 4 is incorrect because elaioplasts, which are present in many flowering plants' anthers as well as the embryonic leaves of oilseeds and citrus fruits, are primarily responsible for the production and storage of fatty acids, terpenes, and other lipids
