Solution
The correct option is B Mitochondria
Enzymes connected with oxidative electron transport system are found in the mitochondria.
The mitochondria is a double-membraned cell organelle, known as the powerhouse of the cell which is present in all eukaryotic cells.
The inner mitochondrial membrane has folds called cristae which helps in increasing the surface area.
The inner mitochondrial membrane is embedded with the enzyme ATP synthase (ATP synthesis), succinate dehydrogenase (oxidation-reduction reaction) and is also the site of the electron transport chain (aerobic respiration).
