Solution
The correct option is C Mitochondria
Mitochondria are the power generating house of the cell. A biochemical process of the cell known as cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria of the cell. They produce energy by synthesizing ATP during cellular respiration. As both plants and animals are eukaryotes i.e, they have membrane-bound organelles. Mitochondria are found in both plants and animals. Plastids and vacuoles are specific to the plant cells. Centrioles are specific to the animal cell.Hence, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria'.
