Answer:

The correct answer will be Option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitochondria is a double membrane-bound organelle which is programmed to produce energy molecule in the form ATP.

Mitochondria are made up of two layers: Outer smooth layer and an inner folded layer called Cristae which in its embodies the enzyme for the synthesis of ATP molecule.

The ATP synthase takes the energy from the movement of protons across the membrane and converts the ADP to ATP.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
