Solution

The correct option is B A cytoplasmic organelle present in animal cells
Centrioles are minute submicroscopic subcylindrical structures which usually occur in pairs (hence, the term diplosome) inside a specialised cytoplasmic structure called centrosphere of the centrosome. Centrioles are present in animal cells only.
