How does having many small chloroplasts rather than one large one within each cell benefit a plant?

It decreases the surface area reducing the amount of unused light.

It allows more of the chlorophyll to be exposed to light.

It permits the cell to turn on only as many chloroplasts as are needed at a time.

It makes it easier to move chloroplasts to other cells if needed.

presence of number of chloroplast  instead of single chloroplast increases the surface area for the light to be absorbed , as a result more light energy can be utilized in photosynthesis process...

so option b is right

b because the more smaller chloroplasts you have the bigger the surface area which can then in turn absorb light to be used in photosynthesis.
