Solution

The correct option is B Oxysome
The F1 particles or oxysomes located on inner mitochondrial membrane allow passage of electrons from peri mitochondrial space to matrix and carry on ATP synthesis using the difference in free energy during transport of protons along the electrochemical gradient. Thus, oxysomes are the point or centre of phosphorylation in a cell. Phosphorylation refers to the process of ATP synthesis.
