Answer 1

The correct option is A They divide in synchrony with cell cycle

Mitochondria are cell organelles of aerobic eukaryotes which take part in oxidative phosphorylation and Krebs' cycle of aerobic respiration.

The cristae increase the surface area for absorption and also increases the efficiency of the mitochondria.
