Correct option is A
✅ (a) Mitochondria: • Known as the "powerhouse of the cell" because they produce ATP via cellular respiration. • Present in all eukaryotic cells, except a few specialized types. • Contain their own DNA and replicate independently.
❌ (b) Chloroplast: • Site of photosynthesis, not energy (ATP) generation for general cell activities.
❌ (c) Vacuole: • Mainly for storage and maintaining turgor pressure.
❌ (d) None of these: • Incorrect, as mitochondria are clearly the powerhouse.
