Solution

The correct option is B lipids.
Endoplasmic reticulum is of 2 types- rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to it, giving it a rough and uneven surface. It helps in synthesis of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have ribosomes on it. It helps in synthesis of lipids.
