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.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Golgi apparatus'.
