Solution

The correct option is C near endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Golgi apparatus is commonly called ‘the packaging organelle’. It is also called Golgi complex or Golgi bodies and was discovered by Camillo Golgi (1898). They are made up of flattened sac-like structures called cisternae and are found very near the endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi complex is the site of glycoproteins and glycolipids synthesis. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins that are formed in the nucleus and ER.
