Solution
The correct option is D Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) is an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structure which are evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm.
The factory of a cell is known as rough endoplasmic reticulum (studded with ribosomes).
The RER along with the ribosomes manufacture proteins and transport them to other parts of the cell (protein synthesis)
So, the correct answer is 'Endoplasmic reticulum'.
