The answer is: B - Mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

The main function of the mitochondria is to provide energy for cellular activity by the process of aerobic respiration. In this process, glucose is broken down in the cell's cytoplasm to form pyruvic acid, which is transported into the mitochondrion.
