Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrion is composed of compartments that carry out specialized functions. These compartments or regions include the outer membrane, intermembrane space, inner membrane, cristae, and matrix.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribosomes, protein-producing organelles in the cytoplasm. Within the mitochondria, the DNA directs the ribosomes to produce proteins as enzymes, or biological catalysts, in ATP production.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correc answer is ‘Stroma’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The mitochondrion has two membranes: an outer membrane, which is porous for most molecules, and an inner membrane, which is tightly sealed and has invaginations called cristae.
