Solution

The correct option is B Smooth ER
Lipid synthesis takes place at the interface of the SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) membrane and the cytosol . The initial starting material is embedded in the membrane while cytosolic enzymes and building materials continually modify it until the lipid production is complete.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Smooth ER.'
