Solution

The correct option is C Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosomal enzymes are made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and travel to the Golgi. This is added by the sequential action of two Golgi enzymes, a phosphotransferase and a diesterase, and it is the addition of the mannose 6 phosphate that identifies the protein as destined for the lysosome.
So, option C is correct.
