Solution

The correct option is C Endoplasmic reticulum
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is the endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes which make their surface rough. It is involved in protein synthesis while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids. The lipids and proteins combine together to form plasma membrane by the process of membrane biogenesis.
