Correct answer: A. Chondriosomes
- A. Chondriosomes

- C. Energysome
- D. Mitosome
Explanation
Mitochondria were historically called chondriosomes because they appear as thread-like or granular bodies in the cytoplasm. Chondriome refers collectively to the mitochondrial component of a cell, so students may choose option b when they confuse the organelle with the collective term. The other terms are not standard names for mitochondria.
