B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer. The main function of mitochondria in aerobic cells is the production of energy by synthesis of ATP. Mitochondria have their own genetic material and the facility to produce their own ribonucleic acids (RNAs) and proteins. Mitochondrial DNA carries genes necessary for the synthesis of many, but not all, mitochondrial proteins.
