Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
In many bacteria especially gram-positive bacteria, the plasma membrane becomes invaginated and folded to form structures called mesosomes. The mesosomes were formerly thought to be equivalent to mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. They were believed to be the centres of respiratory activity. However it also occurs in the plasma membrane.
So, the correct answer is option D.
