The organelle that Dan sees is most likely:
**B. mitochondrion**
Mitochondria are characterized by having a double membrane, with the inner membrane being folded into structures called cristae. They also contain their own circular DNA, which is distinct from the nuclear DNA found in the nucleus. The other options do not fit this description.
