Solution

The correct option is B Mitochondria
The mitochondria are the site for the respiration. The respiration reactions are carried out in the matrix and on the oxysomes in the mitochondria. The glucose is broken down with the help of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. These energy molecules can be used to drive the other chemical reactions.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.
