I'm not sure, but I think it's D) Mitochondria too.

The mitochondria are like the cell's little power plants, breaking down glucose to create ATP. Easy peasy!

Ribosomes are where protein synthesis happens, not energy release. I'm going with Mitochondria on this one.

Hmm, I think the centrioles are responsible for cell division, not energy production. This one's tricky!

I'm pretty sure it's the nucleus that manages all the cell's processes, including energy production.
