C.
If assertion is true but reason is false
Oxysomes or F0- Fi particles are present on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The Fi headpiece of oxysome functions as ATP-synthetase which synthesises ATP from ADP and pi (inorganic phosphate) using energy from proton gradient or ATP synthetase becomes active in ATP formation only when there is a proton gradient having high concentration of protons on F0 side (base) as compared to Fi side (head piece) of F0- Fi particles or oxysomes.
