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.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.
