Solution

The correct option is B Mesosome
Mesosomes are basically folds of the plasma membrane, found lining the cell wall. They take part in cell respiration and thus need more surface area. These folds can become distinct vesicles, tubules, and lamellas. They are called organelles within organelles as they orginate as a part of other organelle called cell membrane.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is attached to the nuclear envelope for protein and lipid synthesis. ER., Ribosomes, and peroxisomes are distinct cell organelles.
Option B is correct.
