Solution

The correct option is B Protein synthesis
The ribosome is a large and complex molecular machine found within all living cells, that serves as the primary site of biological protein synthesis (translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. Ribosomes are also known as 'protein factories of the cell'. They are present in both prokaryotes (70s) and eukaryotes (80s). Mitochondria is responsible for respiration. Chloroplast helps in photosynthesis. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum helps in fat synthesis.
