Solution

The correct option is B Nucleolus
The nucleolus is a naked, roughly round and darkly stained structure attached to chromatin of SAT-chromosomes (satellite bearing chromosomes) at specific locations called Nucleolar Organising Region or NOR. The nucleolus is the site of rRNA or ribosome synthesis. The nucleolus is a rounded body that is usually basophilic and eccentrically placed in the nucleus. The more strict definition of the term is the region within nucleus rich in RNA.
