Solution

The correct option is A Electron transport chain
The electron transport chain is a collection of membrane-embedded proteins and organic molecules. The mitochondrion has an outer membrane and an inner membrane with folds (cisternae). Electron transport chain complexes are found in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it serves as the site of oxidative phosphorylation through the action of ATP synthase.
So, the correct answer is 'Electron transport chain'.
