Solution:

A thylakoid is a membrane-bound flattened sac embedded in the stroma of the chloroplast. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. A crista is the infolds of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. It provides a large amount of surface area for chemical reactions to occur on. A cisterna refers to a flattened membrane disk that makes up the Golgi apparatus. A typical Golgi has multiple stacks of anywhere from 3 to 7 cisternae (usually around 6) stacked upon each other like pancakes. Chromatin is a complex of macromolecules found in cells, consisting of DNA, protein and RNA. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
