Solution

The correct option is D Nucleus
Neuron carries signals between the brain and various parts of the body. The chloroplast is a type of plastid, which produces green coloured pigment. The chloroplast is involved in carrying out photosynthesis. It gives a green colour to leaves. Mitochondria produce the energy currency, i.e., ATPs of the cell. It is also called as a powerhouse of the cell as it provides energy currency to a cell.
Nucleus regulates all the cellular activities by controlling the enzymes required for cellular processes. Enzymes are proteins and protein synthesis is controlled by nucleus as mRNA required for protein synthesis is made from DNA, which is situated in the nucleus. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
