Detailed Solution

Concept: Plastids are double-membrane organelles that are present in algal and plant cells. Plastids are in charge of producing and keeping food in storage. One of its subtypes is the chloroplast, which functions as a somewhat autonomous organelle because it has its own DNA for replication and ribosomes for independent energy production.
Only mitochondria and chloroplasts are naturally semi-autonomous organelles. However, they do not have any control over replication. The cell has control over the replication. They can independently synthesise the proteins thanks to their DNA and ribosomes.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
