Solution

The correct option is B Endoplasmic reticulum
Electron microscopic studies of eukaryotic cells have shown the presence of a network of reticulum of tiny tubular structures scattered in the cytoplasm that is called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).


The endoplasmic reticulum is found in most eukaryotic cells and forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs known as cisternae (in the RER), and tubular structures in the SER.

The endoplasmic reticulum is not found in red blood cells, or spermatozoa.The smooth endoplasmic reticulum like the rough endoplasmic reticulum is connected to the nuclear envelope. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum comprises tube-like structure located near the cell periphery. These tubules or tubes sometimes branch forming a network that is reticular in appearance.
