The correct answer is:

a. Organelles are similar in function to organs.

Both organelles and organs serve specialized functions that are essential for the overall maintenance and operation of the organism. Organelles carry out specific tasks necessary for the survival and efficiency of a cell, while organs perform specific functions that support the survival and efficiency of a multicellular organism.
