Solution
The correct option is D Mitochondria
Cytoplasmic male sterility is total or partial male sterility in plants as the result of specific nuclear and mitochondrial interactions. Twenty-nine mitochondrial genomes from 19 angiosperm species have been completely sequenced and have been found to vary in genome size and gene content. Seven of these mitochondrial genomes are known to induce cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS).So, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.
