Solution

The correct option is B Mesosomes
Bacteria are prokaryotic cells. They are unicellular organisms. They are made up of single cell bound by plasma membrane and lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, Golgi bodies. They lack a true nucleus as well. Instead, they possess genetic material without nuclear envelope called as the nucleoid. They also contain ribosomes in the cytoplasm. They also posses mesosomes, folded invagination in the plasma membrane. These are the sites of respiration.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mesosomes.'
