Correct answer: "They are responsible for the conversion of energy in either plant or animal cells."
Why: Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis) in plants (and some protists), while mitochondria convert chemical energy from food into ATP (cellular respiration) in both plant and animal cells. The other choices describe functions (extracellular storage, hormone reception, or energy distribution in both cell types) that are incorrect or misleading for these organelles.
