A
Ribosomes
B
Chloroplast
C
Lysosomes
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria is a double membrane-bound semiautonomous organelle present in the cytoplasm of the cell which possesses its genetic material and ribosomes. The proteins synthesized by the proteins in mitochondria are utilized to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for the extracting energy from food through cellular respiration. The energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is an energy currency of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. Mitochondria are tiny organelles present inside the cells that are involved in releasing energy from food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.
