Solution

The correct option is A

Endoplasmic reticulum


The endoplasmic reticulum bearing ribosomes on their surface is called Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER). They are actively involved in protein synthesis. The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is the major site for synthesis of lipid. In animal cells, steroidal hormones are synthesized in SER.
