Explanation:

Cells have various organelles that each have specialized functions necessary for the cell's survival. For example, mitochondria produce energy, the nucleus stores genetic information. They do not perform the same function, nor do they compete; rather, they work in harmony. And cells have multiple organelles, not just one.

Answer:

B. Different organelles specialize in specific tasks that support the cell's survival.
