Solution

The correct option is C They contain different kinds of colouring pigments
Mitochondria are the cell organelles which are found in all the eukaryotic cells like plants and animals. There are finger-like projections called cristae in the inner membrane. They perform cellular respiration in which the substrates are oxidised and energy is released to form ATP. There are no pigments in the mitochondria. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
