Solution

The correct option is C Mesosome
  • Mesosomes are absent in eukaryotes.
  • Mesosomes refers to the folded invaginations in the plasma membrane of prokaryotes or bacterial cells.
  • Its main function is to increase the surface area of the plasma membrane.
  • When the surface area of the membrane is increased it helps to carry out the cellular respiration more efficiently.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Mesosome'.
