The correct option is C Mitochondria Mitochondrion is called the powerhouse of the cell. The number of mitochondria varies in differerent types of cells. For example, muscle cells will contain hundreds of them since they need a lot more energy for their function. In the absence of mitochondria, the cells wont be able to produce enough energy to maintain the functioning of the body.
