Solution
The correct option is B Mitochondria
Muscle cells have a very special characteristic which makes them more effective in the task accomplishing the movement contraction. As you know that all cells to need the energy to function but muscle cells have usually high energy requirement which is only powered by the powerhouse of the cell which is the mitochondria. They convert glucose into ATP which is a molecule that can store large amount of available energy. Muscles have numerous mitochondria so they can quickly and forcefully respond to body's constant demand for energy.
So, the correct option is 'Mitochondria'
