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.

     
 

1. Part (A) : Matrix – a major site for respiratory chain enzymes
2. Part (D) : Outer membrane – gives rise to the inner membrane by splitting
3. Part (B) : Inner membrane – forms infoldings called cristae
4. Part (C) : Cristae – possess single circular DNA molecule and ribosome
