Solution

The correct option is D Modifies and packages proteins
  • Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in the eukaryotic cells which forms a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm.
  • Its main function is sorting, modifying and packaging of proteins.
  • It is also involved in secretion, glycosylation of proteins and lipids and helps in intracellular transport.
  • The folds of the Golgi apparatus are called cisternae which are called the functional units of this organelle.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Modifies and packages proteins'.
