The correct option is: (c) b is true but a is false

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles because they contain their own DNA and can replicate independently of the cell's nucleus, to some extent.
They are formed by the division of pre-existing organelles, indicating that they can replicate within the cell.
However, they do not lack protein-synthesizing machinery. In fact, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own ribosomes and machinery to synthesize proteins.
