Solution
The correct option is B Cristae
The inner membrane is freely permeable only to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water. Its structure is highly complex as it folds and forms finger-like projection called as cristae. The cristae greatly increase the total surface area of the inner membrane for the production of energy in the form of ATP.
