Solution

The correct option is C Inner mitochondrial membrane
Cytochromes are iron containing hemeproteins which is associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondria. They are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport.
The different cytochromes are in various places of the ETC, but each one has a basic role: transferring electrons. Hence option D is correct.
