Answer:
➡Mesosome is an extension of the cell membrane presence in cytoplasm as infolding and serves to increases surface area in photosynthetic prokaryotes, cyanobacteria, wherein it carries the photosynthetic pigments. Mesosomes serve in DNA replication and guide distribution of duplicated bacterial chromosomes into the two daughter cells during cell division. They also carry the enzymes for aerobic respiration and increase the surface area for the same. This makes option C correct answer. Mesosomes do not contain the enzymes for nitrogen fixation which makes option D incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is option C.......

Option C is correct
distribution of DNA to daughter cell
In photosynthetic prokaryotes, such as cyanobacteria, the mesosome is an extension of the cell membrane that exists in the cytoplasm as infolding and serves to enhance surface area by carrying photosynthetic pigments. Mesosomes have a role in DNA replication as well as guiding the distribution of duplicated bacterial chromosomes between the two daughter cells during cell division. They also transport enzymes for aerobic respiration and enhance the surface area available for this process. As a result, option C is the right answer. Option D is wrong because mesosomes lack the enzymes required for nitrogen fixation. As a result, option C is the correct answer
