Cortex is the ground tissue present between epidermis and endodermis. It is mostly composed of parenchymatous cells. Parenchymatous cells are thin walled polyhedral, isodiametric living cells with sufficient cytoplasm, one or more nuclei and nucleolus. They serve to store food. Chlorophyll is present in chlorenchyma which are specialized to perform photosynthesis and are present in leaves. 
Hence, the correct option is A.
