Solution
The correct option is D Mitochondria
The mitochondria is a double-membraned cell organelle, known as the powerhouse of the cell which is present in all eukaryotic cells.
The inner mitochondrial membrane has folds called cristae which helps in increasing the surface area.
The enzyme ATP synthase is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane helps in the synthesis of ATP molecule (energy currency of the cell).
It is also the site of the electron transport chain (aerobic respiration or cellular respiration) as it contains the respiratory enzymes required for cellular respiration.
