Solution

The correct option is C Nucleus
Nucleus is the largest organelle in the animal cell, covering upto 10% of the total cell volume. Typically, the average diameter of the nucleus is around 6 microns. On the other hand, mitochondria (0.5-1 micron) and lysosomes (0.1-1.2 microns) have lesser size but are greater in number. Plastids are absent in animal cells.

So, the correct answer is 'D'.
