Brief Explanations

ATP is mainly produced in mitochondria through cellular respiration. Cyanide binds to a molecule in the electron - transport chain in mitochondria which is involved in ATP production. So cyanide will accumulate in mitochondria. Lysosomes are for digestion, peroxisomes deal with oxidative reactions like breaking down hydrogen peroxide, and ribosomes are for protein synthesis.

Answer:

D. mitochondria
