Solution
The correct option is C Endoplasmic reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a system of the membrane-bound network that runs through the cytoplasm. ER remains continuous with the plasma membrane, nuclear envelope, and Golgi complex. ER manufactures proteins and lipids that are involved in membrane biogenesis (building the cell membrane).
