Solution

The correct option is E Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is of 2 types - rough and smooth. The rough ER is responsible for protein synthesis. The smooth ER is devoid of ribosomes and responsible for fats or lipids metabolism, lipids and steroid hormone production.
So, the correct answer is option D.
