Solution

The correct option is C ribosomes
A prokaryotic cell has a nucleoid (no nuclear membrane around the genetic material) and no other membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the Golgi complex, lysosomes, mitochondria, microbodies, and vacuoles.

Ribosomes are the only non-membrane bound organelle that is found in the cytoplasm. These are organelles responsible for the synthesis of proteins.
