None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By enabling genetic complementation, fusion of the mitochondria allows for two mitochondrial genomes with different defects within the same organelle to individually encode what the other lacks. In doing so, these mitochondrial genomes generate all of the necessary components for a functional mitochondrion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondrial fusion is the physical merging of the outer and then the inner mitochondrial membranes of two originally distinct mitochondria. Mitochondrial division is the breaking apart of one mitochondrial body into two. The combined effects of ongoing fusion and division give rise to mitochondrial networks.
