Solution

The correct option is B
on the cristae of mitochondria

A crista is a fold in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion.
Cristae are studded with proteins, including ATP synthase and a variety of cytochromes.
They increase the surface area of the inner membrane on which the electron transport takes place.
The high surface area allows greater capacity for ATP generation.
