Solution

The correct option is D Nucleolus
Nucleolus is naked roughly rounded darkly stained structure that is attached to chromatin at specific spot called Nucleolar Organizing Region of NOR. Nucleolus contains four parts : amorphous, fibrillar, granular, and chromatin. Both fibrillar and granular parts are formed of RNA and proteins. Nucleolus is the site of synthesis of rRNA and synthesis of ribosomes. It is therefore called as ribosomal factory. Ribosomal proteins are however synthesized in cytoplasm.
