The correct option of the above statement is:

C.a large surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inner membrane of mitochondria folds over many times and forms layered structures called cristae. The fluid carried in the mitochondria is termed the matrix. The folding of the inner membrane expands the surface area inside the organelle.
