Solution
The correct option is A Polysome
A polysome is a single mRNA that is simultaneously being translated by many ribosomes. It results in the synthesis of multiple copies of a polypeptide. All the plastids of cells collectively are called as plastidome. Nucleosome is a basic unit consists of DNA wrapped around four proteins called histones. Polyhedral bodies are inclusion bodies that are associated with replication of certain insect viruses.
