Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondria
A prokaryotic cell is a unicellular organism. It is basically made up of plasma membrane and cytoplasm. It lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria and other membrane-bound organelles. The cell wall of prokaryotic cell is made up of peptidoglycans. In prokaryotic cell, ribosomes float free in the cytosol.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria.'
