Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

These are site of aerobic respiration, where Krebs' cycle occurs in matrix, while $ETS$ and oxidative phosphorylation enzymes are located in inner membrane. They are called power houses of cell because they produce energy in the form of $ATP$. They are the major centres of release of energy in the aerobic respiration.
