Answer 1

The correct option is A Steroid synthesis

• 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.
  
• A smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes.
• It helps in the production and metabolism of lipid, it also produces steroid hormones and helps in detoxification.
• So, the correct answer is 'Steroid synthesis'.
