Answer:

The correct answer will be option- C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitochondria are the double membrane-bound organelles present in the cell which provides a site for the formation of energy molecules in the cell that is ATP. This is the reason they are also known as the "powerhouse of the cell. "

The mitochondria from the energy molecules due to the cellular respiration process undergoing in the mitochondria. The cellular respiration helps in the formation of the ATP molecules.

If the cell has an abundance of the mitochondria then the cell will produce more energy molecules from the glycolysis and another interlinked process of the respiration.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.
