Correct answer: B. Cristae
- A. Grana
- B. Cristae
- C. Thylakoid membrane
- D. Intergrana
Explanation
The correct answer is cristae. The cristae are folds of the inner membrane of mitochondria, which increase the surface area for chemical reactions such as cellular respiration. Grana, thylakoid membranes, and intergrana are all associated with chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis, not with mitochondria.
