Solution
The correct option is D Mitochondria Mitochondria contain DNA other than nucleus. Mitochondria are thought to be the parasites in the eukaryotic cells that got inside the latter as a result of the endo-symbiotic event that took place earlier in the evolution. Centriole is a small set of microtubules. Golgi apparatus is a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells involved in secretion and intracellular transport.
