Solution

The correct option is A Mitochondria
Degradation of sugar and fat to form acetyl-CoA is the initial step in Krebs cycle. Krebs cycle takes place in mitochondria, which is called as the power house of cell. In aerobic respiration, major reactions take place in mitochondria. So, without it, aerobic respiration can not be completed.
