Solution

The correct option is D Ribosomes
  • The smallest cell organelle present within a cell is ribosome (based on the surface area of the organelle).
  • Ribosomes are known as protein factories because they are the main site of protein synthesis (composed of nucleic acids and proteins).
  • So, the correct answer is 'Ribosomes'.
