Solution

The correct option is B Mitochondria
In the process of cellular respiration, mitochondria function as the main organelle. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell. They are rod-shaped organelles which convert nutrients into ATP. ATP is the energy currency of the cell which is produced by mitochondria. Aerobic respiration takes place in the powerhouse of the cell, i.e mitochondria. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis. Chloroplasts are concerned with the photosynthesis. Dictyosomes perform the packaging and modification of the biomolecules.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.
