Solution

The correct option is D Mitochondria
Mitochondria, organelles specialized to carry out aerobic respiration, contain an inner membrane folded into cristae, which form two separate compartments: the inner membrane space and the matrix.
The electron transport chain is embedded in the inner membrane and uses both compartments to make ATP.
