Solution

The correct option is D Polysome
The proteins are produced by the process of translation of mRNA by ribosomes. In a prokaryotic cell during translation ribosomes occur in groups linked to same mRNA. Such a group is called polyribosome (or polysome) by Rich in 1963.
So, the correct answer is option D.
