Solution

The correct option is C Rough endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of tiny tubular structures. It is of two types on the basis of the presence and absence of ribosomes:
1. Rough ER (ribosomes are present) - helps in protein synthesis
2. Smooth ER (ribosomes are absent) - helps in lipid synthesis
So, the correct option Is B.
