The correct answer is option B

The mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell. The energy that is required for the the movement of the muscles is produced by the mitochondria.

It converts the nutrients and oxygen into ATP (adenosine tri phosphate) which is the energy molecule for the body to do work.

In case we are running muscle cells work more and this case the mitochondria of the cell is working.
