Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondria
Cellular respiration is a stepwise catabolic process in which a respiratory substance is broken down to produce energy as ATP. Mitochondria is the primary organelle in which cellular respiration takes place. Krebs' cycle occurs in mitochondrial matrix and ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Golgi bodies, ribosomes and chloroplasts do not take part in respiration.
So the answer is 'Mitochondria'.
