Solution

The correct option is D Mitochondria
Bacteria are prokaryotic unicellular organisms. They lack the membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, golgi complex. They contain ribosomes in the cytoplasm. They also contain mesosomes, which are the site of respirations. Mesosomes are infolds in the plasma membrane that increases its surface area. The cell membrane of the bacteria is surrounded by the cell wall. They lack true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, the chromosome with its associated proteins and RNA.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria.'
