Solution

The correct option is A Mitochondria
The mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles involved in aerobic respiration. The mitochondrion is called the ‘powerhouse of the cell'. It is responsible for the synthesis of energy in the form of ATP.

Microbodies are minute single membraned structures that contain various enzymes and are found in the cytoplasm of a variety of cells.

Ribosomes are the non-membrane bound organelles. They are also called as the ‘protein factories’ of the cell.

Lysosomes are single membraned sac-like structures. These are rich in hydrolytic enzymes that can digest various food substances like carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. They are sometimes also called as the ‘suicide bags’ of the cell as it can digest non-functioning organelles and the whole cell if they are damaged.
