Solution

The correct option is A Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (abbreviated SER) has functions in several metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids and steroids. Cells which secrete these products, such as those in the testes, ovaries and sebaceous glands have an abundance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
