Four tiles are shown, each with an icon and a text label. They read: All Activity (checkmark icon), Cellular Respiration (battery icon), Protein Production (factory icon), and Activate Transport (folded membrane icon). The Cellular Respiration tile is highlighted in white. The other three tiles are not highlighted, shown in teal.

The most likely reason for highlighting the mitochondria when "Cellular Respiration" is selected is:
C - Most steps of cellular respiration occur in the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they play a critical role in producing ATP through the processes of cellular respiration.
