Solution
The correct option is D Mesosomes
A prokaryotic cell like bacteria is typically devoid of membrane-bound cell organelles. In such cells, biochemical activities like the production of energy through the Krebs cycle occurs in mesosomes. Mesosomes are complex infoldings of the bacterial plasma membrane which increase the biosynthetic area in a bacterial cell that is otherwise devoid of cell organelles.Thus, the correct answer is option D.
