Solution

The correct option is A Cellular respiration
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell. It is made up of two membranes and a fluid held matrix. Chemical reactions occur in the membranes. Mitochondria are a part of eukaryotic cells. The main function of mitochondria is cellular respiration. It takes the nutrients from the cell and breaks down to produce the energy required for the cell to perform various functions.Whereas photosynthesis is performed by chlorophyll. Mitochondria are not playing a role in digestion and transpiration in the cells.
So the correct answer is 'cellular respiration'.
