C Correct answer
Explanation

Cell membrane of a eukaryotic cell bears respiratory enzymes. Respiratory enzymes is an enzyme, such as oxidases, that transfer electrons from its substrate to molecular oxygen. During cellular respiration, cell membrane bears respiratory enzyme in prokaryotic cells but in eukaryotes cell, membrane lacks respiratory enzyme. In case of eukaryotic cell, respiratory enzymes are present in mitochondrial membrane.
