Best answer
The correct option is (c) It synthesizes proteins

The best I can explain: Mitochondria is regarded as the powerhouse of the cell as it helps in the production of ATP. It also synthesizes its own DNA that is why it is also known as an autonomous organelle. It is protected by a double-walled membrane: inner and outer membrane.
