A) is the right answer

The function of mitochondria is to produce energy as the form of ATP which is used to synthesize products like neurotransmitters

and not to bond axons to dendrites (they are chemically bound through neurotrasmitter)____ answer d is wrong

Note: the main function of the mitochondria is to oroduce energy in thr form of ATP
