Brief Explanations
Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses of the cell." They are responsible for cellular respiration, which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell. Sugar (A) and glucose (B) are produced by photosynthesis in plants (in chloroplasts, not mitochondria). Oxygen (D) is a product of photosynthesis, not mitochondrial activity. So the correct answer is the option related to ATP.
