The figure below shows the structure of a mitochondrion with its four parts labelled (A), (B), (C) and (D).
Select the part correctly matched with its function:
Part (D): Outer membrane - gives rise to the inner membrane by splitting.
Part (B): Inner membrane - forms infoldings called cristae.
Part (C): Cristae - possess single circular DNA molecule and ribosome
Part (A): Matrix - major site for respiratory chain enzymes.

Structure of the Mitochondria
The inner membrane is convoluted to form finger-like projections called cristae. These bear oxysomes for ATP synthesis.
