Solution
The correct option is C Golgi apparatus
Golgi apparatus is a cellular organelle which consists of folded and flattened membranes within the cytoplasm that is involved in secretion and helps in intracellular transport.
The folds of the Golgi apparatus are called cisternae which are called the functional units of this organelle.
It helps in modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion and also helps in the transportation of lipid and forms lysosomes.
