Verified by Toppr

Eukaryotic cells have DNA in the nucleus and in organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria. These are extrachromosomal DNA which mainly helps in the synthesis of intracellular and organelle-specific proteins. Mitochondria and chloroplast are therefore also known as semi-autonomous organelles. So, the correct answer is option D.
