Solution

The correct option is A Protein and RNA
Ribosomes are composed of proteins and ribosomal RNA. They are found in four areas of the plant cell: the cytoplasm, the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondria, and on chloroplasts. There are two main types of ribosomes they are free ribosomes and attached ribosomes. The attached ribosomes are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and serve as sites for protein synthesis. Proteins synthesized on these ribosomes will be exported from the cell, moved into other organelles of the endomembrane system, or incorporated into membranes. Protein synthesis also occurs on free ribosomes.
