Solution

The correct option is B Ribosome
Protein factory is a cell organelle which synthesises proteins.
A) Lysosome is the suicidal bags of the cell. They cause cell death.
B) Ribosomes are the organelles which synthesise proteins. Hence, they are known as the protein factory of the cell.
C) SER or the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is present in cells where there is lipid synthesis. It is not the protein factory of the cell.
D) Vacuoles in cells store waste materials. They are large in plant cells and negligible or absent in animal cells.
So, the answer is 'Ribosome'.
