Solution

The correct option is B cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton is the supporting framework of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments which are proteinaceous in nature. This serves as a supporting structure for all the organelles found in a eukaryotic cell.

The cytoplasm is the semi-fluid matrix occupying the volume of the cell in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is the main arena of cellular activities in both the plant and animal cells. Various chemical reactions occur in it to keep the cell in the living state.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane bound organelles extending from the outer membrane of the nucleus to the plasma membrane.

The golgi complexes are membrane bound organelles pinched off from the endoplasmic reticulum. They are called the ‘packaging organelle’ of the cell.
