Solution

The correct option is C Nucleus
Nucleus is a large spherical structure present in almost all eukaryotic cells. It contains the genetic information in the form of DNA. In animal cells, it is usually found in the center, while in plant cells it is towards the periphery. All the activities happening inside the cell are controlled by the nucleus.
