Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondria

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. Energy in the form of ATP is used to power all the life processes and cellular activities necessary to keep the cell alive. ATP is manufactured in the mitochondria during aerobic respiration process. So, mitochondria are also called the powerhouses of the cell.
