Solution

The correct option is C Mesosome
A plasma membrane or plasmalemma is a living membrane that forms the boundary between a cell and its environment. The invaginations of the plasma membrane are called mesosomes. Mesosomes are present in bacteria and contain respiratory enzymes. Mesosomes also help in cell wall formation.
Therefore, option C is correct.
