Solution
The correct option is D nucleus
The nucleus is the ‘brain of the cell’. It contains the genetic material DNA in chromosomes. The DNA is responsible for protein synthesis, growth and differentiation of the cell and several other functions. Thus, the nucleus controls all the activities of the cell.
The mitochondrion is called the ‘powerhouse of the cell’, it is the site for the synthesis of energy in the form of ATP by breaking down food substances such as carbohydrates and lipids.
Endoplasmic Reticulum is an intracellular membranous network extending from the nuclear membrane to the cell membrane. Some functions of endoplasmic reticulum include providing mechanical support by acting as an intracellular skeleton. It also acts as a transport system within the cell.
The vacuole is a single membrane-bound organelle that is generally filled either with sap (water and dissolved solutes) or food. Vacuoles help in maintaining the osmoregulation (a process that maintains salt and water balance) in a cell, storing and concentrating waste products, accumulation of pigments, providing buoyancy (air vacuoles), etc.
