Solution

The correct option is C Nucleolus
The nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA, also known as rRNA.It sends the subunits out to the rest of the cell where they combine into complete ribosomes during the process of formation of proteins.
Hence, the correct answer is 'nucleolus'.
