Solution

The correct option is D Transportation of substances
The endoplasmic reticulum or ER is involved in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins. There are two types of ERs, rough and smooth. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to it and plays a major role in protein synthesis. The smooth ER on the other hand plays an important role in transport of substances from one part of the cell to another.
